Don't worry bout this gold ring on my finger I ain't the cheatin' kind
I could love you all night long and never have a guilty mind
It ain't the cheatin' to be losin' sleep or up all night walkin' the floor
Cause the truth of the matter is I don't matter to her like I did before

And cheatin's only cheatin' if there's someone at home who cares
What you're doin' who you doin' it with why when and where
You could say I's runnin' around but it's really a side affair
Cause cheatin's only cheatin' if there's someone at home who cares

[ steel ]
We had nothing from each other we don't even bother the line
Now I can do bout anything I want and never get the evil eye
My friends say I'm a lucky man and then I show 'em I got it made
But I'd sale my soul just to know she worries when I'm out too late

And cheatin's only cheatin' if there's someone at home who cares
What you're doin' who you doin' it with why when and where
You could say I's runnin' around but it's really a side affair
Cause cheatin's only cheatin' if there's someone at home who cares
Cause cheatin's only cheatin' if there's someone at home who cares
