They said your cheating heart will make me cry And like a fool I gave it a try I should've listened when they told me so Many many tears ago But I could not believe the things they said Because my heart over ruled my head I should've listened when they told me so Many many tears ago I laughed out loud when they told me That you had someone else But your cheating heart has shown me That I was foolin' myself I know it's too late for a brand new start For I have cried you out of my heart I should've listened when they told me so Many many tears ago I laughed out loud when they told me That you had someone else But your cheating heart has shown me That I was foolin' myself I know it's too late for a brand new start For I have cried you out of my heart I should've listened when they told me so I should've listened when they told me so Many many tears ago
