I've been trying hard to forget
That you've been cheating
Wishin' you I'd never met
'Cause you've been cheating

Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

Yeah, you made me suspect and I know (who-who)
You don't want me (you don't want me)
Cookies crumble, and that's how it goes (who-who)
You don't want me (you don't want me)

Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

Another lover you discover
Our love's gone and I don't know why
It's just as well, though at last I do know
All you said was just a lie

So I'm trying hard to forget
That you've been cheating
Wishin' you I'd never met
'Cause you've been cheating

Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

Ooh, ooh, baby (you've been cheating)
You must not love me (you've been cheating)
You must not want me (you've been cheating)

You just don't care [Repeat until fade]
