| Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
|
| Is it cheating if you call me your man?
|
| I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
|
| And pretending not to know you’re there
|
| I imagine the sound of your voice
|
| I imagine the smell of your skin
|
| I imagine me with you, the way that he is
|
| And wonder how it would have been
|
| In the morning the tears on my pillow
|
| Will dry in the sun in my room
|
| And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’ll stay down here
|
| Far from you as the Earth and the moon
|
| Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
|
| Is it cheating if you call me your man?
|
| I’m receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
|
| And pretending not to know you care
|
| Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes
|
| Making promises and keeping a few
|
| I try to call, I try to write
|
| But that one single night was the one night I could have had you
|
| Come dance beside me
|
| Grab your partner and I’ll grab mine
|
| Hold him close in your sweet arms
|
| And think of me darling tonight
|
| With this ring on my finger I was promised away
|
| With this ring I was chained to a cell
|
| So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays
|
| So I sing through this singular hell
|
| Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
|
| Is it cheating if you call me your man?
|
| I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
|
| And pretending not to know you’re there
|
| Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
|
| And pretending not to know you care |
