Cheater
Michael Jackson · The Ultimate Collection [2009]
You know I work to hard for this kinda play,
I wrote a letter, for the getto of the CIA,
I don't care a jack, or about what cha' do,
Just put ya dime on the line baby, cos i own you,
[CHORUS]
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel,
One blow to the head is all you need
Cheater...
[VERSE 2]
Now you better go and get yourself some attitude!
I know ya name and the game is I own you
Ya, tellin' me that ya comin to a compramise
Ya smilin at me while, ya stealin right before my eyes
[CHORUS]
Somebody said, give up instead on how ya feel,
One blow to the head is all ya need,
Cheater...
[BRIDGE]
I hurt my backbone baby,
I start to give it up,
Life is an aggrovator,
Sometimes I part it up,
I broke my radiator,
I'm indestructible,
I pray to leave my body,
Don't you ever call!
[VERSE 3]
I don't care a jack, or about what you do
Just sign your name on the line baby, I own you
Cheater...
[CHORUS]
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel,
One blow to the head is all you need,
Cheater...
Cheater...
