She Cheats on Me

Mickey Gilley · Mickey at Gilleys [Checkmake] [1978]

(Glenn Barber)



She wakes me every morning with a touch of her hand

A soft voice says good morning dear

Lips like red roses whisper my name

And I thrill to her presence so near.



Eyes bright as midnight a purplish gleam

And a luster that grows from her cheeks

My tears they almost show but she must never know

That I know that she cheats on me.



She stand at the doorway and smiles up at me

And then she says darling, have a good day

A sweet kind of sadness swells up in my heart

As I look down at her angel face.



She's hiding a secret that I help her keep

To lose her I couldn't conceive

So I just let it go, so she will never know

That I know that she cheats on me.



I come home in the evening, she meets me at the door

Her smile melts my anger away

A warm cup of coffee, my slippers by the chair

It's the end of another long day.



I can't fight this feeling that I have for my wife

Such beauty to lie and deceive

So I just let her go, so she must never know

That I know that she cheats on me...
