This song is my attempt at writing a country song with a twist. I wanted to write a song that built to a reveal right at the end. Since the rest of the songs have a country tilt I thought an overtly country song would sit well on this E.P.. After listening to a fair amount of Carl Perkins this is what I wrote.
lyrics
4. Cheating On Me
Verse 1
So I heard you got a secret lover and you hide him under the covers at night.
Are you cheating on me?
Where do you go when I’m not around? When the tree falls does it make a sound?
Tonight, are you cheating on me?
I have faith but there’s no proof. Smoke without fire I’ll set the truth alight.
Yes you’re cheating on me!
It’s not like I’ve never seen this before. I’ve been here, I’ve walked across this floor, I’m right!
Yes you’re cheating on me!
Bridge
If we are one then, one is a lonely crowd.
So if you’re the one then.
I add to nothing, I am nothing, I am nothing.
Verse 2
I just know you got a secret lover too. He's there under, there I’ll uncover you, hold tight!
Are you cheating on me?
What’s really going on in your mind? How do you disguise the evil behind your eyes?
Ye’ you’re cheating on me!
Bridge
If we are one then, one is a lonely crowd.
If I am wrong then, let me explain I’m not so proud.
I add to nothing, I am nothing, because….
Outro
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
I cheated on you
