It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home There's no use in pretending, there'll be a happy ending Where our love's concerned, sweetheart, we both know We'll take love where we find it, love and try to hide it It's all we got, for we know they're not gonna let us go It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home It's a cheating situation when there's no love at home
