Cheating Lyrics

I saw you Sunday, Monday
Hanging with your man again
You came back on a Tuesday
With that cold-heart look of shame

Oh I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're Cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do
It's just a thing you do

I saw you Friday, Saturday
Tearing up another heart
You came home a' crying
Why'd you take it all so hard?

You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you

Yeah, I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah

Oh, I've been told you baby
Girl you done some things so bad to me
And I know

You are the one who's creeping,
You are the one who's cheating,
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping,
You are the one who's cheating,
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping
You are the one who's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping
You are the one who's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me.

I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you, no.

I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do, oh no no no

Cheating

This was released as the second single from John Newman's debut album, Tribute. The record was written at a tough time. Newman told The Sun: "It is a breakup album. I broke up with someone I loved and the music started coming. I didn't talk about things a lot with my friends or with her, the person I went through a hard time with. I put it in the music and that's the only way I talk about it."

Newman's debut solo single, "Love Me Again," found him playing the role of the heartbreaker, but on this song it is his heart that is the one that's broken.

Newman penned the song with Emily Phillips, who is signed to Sony/ATV as a songwriter. The British songsmith co-wrote four tracks on Rizzle Kicks debut album Stereo Typical including their single "Traveller's Chant." She also co-wrote "Worldwide" with Big Time Rush for the American boy band's B.T.R. record.

When he was growing up, other boys would deliberately make a play for girls that Newman was interested in to upset him. as a consequence he found himself getting paranoid that girlfriends were seeing other guys behind his back: The singer told The Observer that this song is about, "a girl in Leeds who I still don't know if she did cheat on me."
