I could leave now and you'd be better off without me.
Then you could do as you please, you wouldn't have to bother about your conscience
You could dance; you could steal someone else's heart and smash it.
'Cause I know that you did it to me once. And I know that you liked it.
Don't stand there and cry, defend yourself.
Don't throw me a lie 'cause I saw it for my self.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
You say nothing ever happened but I heard your giggle in his laughter.
And his hands in your pants, doing the dirty finger waltz.
If I leave you now we wouldn't have to see each other ever after.
But that wouldn't matter much to me 'cause everything you sang for me…
Ah, you’re so full of it…
Don't stand there and cry, defend yourself.
Don't throw me a lie 'cause I saw it for my self.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
When I came in 'round quarter to three you were standing by the jukebox as pretty as could be. With another man's hands touching your thigh, and you didn't even mind … at all, no…
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
