Cheat sheets..
Lonely night
Week after the fight
Out of control
Shit just wasn't right
Just got a text, are you free for the night?
And I say yes, for time to go by.
She came over, I started doin' my thing
(Take her clothes off, throw her on the bed)
In the middle of it all
I heard the doorbell ring..
Oh
She came home a day early
and saw the cheat sheets.
She probably was testing me,
and found my cheat sheets.
She heard somethin' movin up on the second floor,
She went to the bedroom and opened up the door,
That's when she see the other girl
wrapped up in the cheat sheets.
Oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah
Tears in her eyes
Want to go bye
'How can you take his word?' I reply.
Then she said 'I was wrong, but now this was me'
Tricks are for kids, so move out of the way.
Then I said 'Baby don't go! I'm on my knees!'
She said 'Why should I stay?! Baby she's in my sheets!'
Whoa-Oh
She came home a day early
and saw the cheat sheets.
(she saw my, my, my)
She probably was testing me,
and found my cheat sheets
(I knew I was wrong)
She heard somethin' movin up on the second floor,
She went to the bedroom and opened up the door,
That's when she see the other girl
wrapped up in my cheat sheets.
I know I need to think it through,
and I never should have cheated girl.
Everything I promised was only misleading you to me.
Never should have thrown away our love;
It was all I had..
Baby, now I'm suffering
It's lookin' like a tragedy
I broke a heart that can't be fixed.
I'm feelin' so sick.
Ohhh..
She came home a day early
and saw the cheat sheets.
She probably was testing me,
and found my cheat sheets.
She heard somethin' movin up on the second floor,
She went to the bedroom and opened up the door,
That's when she see the other girl
wrapped up in the cheat sheets.
