Paul Cauthen
Cheating Me Out of Love
[Verse 1]
Your ivory smile
Your cigarette drawl
Those Indian Ocean eyes
The way your hair curled
Over your brow
Made me wild, I can't look at you now

[Pre-Chorus]
Your black heart's got me on the run
From the white lies off your silver tongue
Drifting from the gray and the blue

[Chorus]
Was it something I said to you?
Something I didn't do?
Did someone else put you through
The same thing you're doing to me?
I can't pretend like I don't know
What you did when you're on the road
On the losing end, enough is enough
Nobody wins when you're cheating me out of love

[Verse 2]
I'm a shoulder cold
To your ego
You're frozen in the bed that you made
I'm hot off the press
You're stuck in your mess
Watching me make my great escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Your black heart's got me on the run
From the white lies off your silver tongue
Drifting from the gray and the blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Your black heart's got me on the run
From the white lies off your silver tongue
Drifting from the gray and the blue

[Chorus]
Was it something I said to you?
Something I didn't do?
Did someone else put you through
The same thing you're doing to me?
I can't pretend like I don't know
What you did when you're on the road
On the losing end, enough is enough
Nobody wins when you're cheating me out of love

[Bridge]
Forgive, don't forget
I give but don't get
Nothin' but the run-around
'Bout you runnin' 'round
I can't get over this
At least not as quick as you want me to
I wanted to
I wanted you
[Chorus]
Was it something I said to you?
Something I didn't do?
Did someone else put you through
The same thing you're doing to me?
I can't pretend like I don't know
What you did when you're on the road
On the losing end, enough is enough
Nobody wins when you're cheating me out of love
You cheated me out of love
