The "I" In Lie

[Verse 1]

It was electric from the moment they crossed paths

Actively attracted but attempting to walk past

Temptation makes impatient impulses pump through married men

So just stop, breathe, count to three

Is she worth it?

[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever this is, it doesn’t feel right

Baby, think about your kids

You’re not putting up a fight

'Cause we could make love tonight

But you’re gonna hate yourself in the morning light

So just stop, breathe, count to three

Get your head right like

[Chorus]

I put the "I" in lie

'Cause I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

And baby bang bang, kiss kiss

You and I got to put an end to this

We cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

If you’re unfaithful, put your hands in the air

Hands in the air, hands in the air

Like you’re under arrest with a guilty conscience

Stick 'em up if you’ve got a guilty conscience, yeah

[Verse 2]

She married young; it was a mistake

She had a son, reluctant father

He upped and walked away

She meets a man who craves her company likes she’s craving his

But, honey, if he seems too good to be true

Well, guess what? He probably is

[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever this is, it doesn’t feel right

So just stop, breathe, count to three

Get your head right like:

[Chorus]

I put the "I" in lie

'Cause I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

And baby bang bang, kiss kiss

You and I got to put an end to this

We cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

If you’re unfaithful, put your hands in the air

Hands in the air, hands in the air

Like you’re under arrest with a guilty conscience

Stick 'em up if you’ve got a guilty conscience, yeah

[Bridge]

And it’s just lust

Nothing to write home about

'Cause it’s just trust

Nothing to be messed around with

It might’ve felt good for a minute

But admit it to yourself, it ain’t right

When you’re sleeping with your lover

But you’re living with your wife

Whatever this is

(You’re not putting up a fight)

[Chorus]

I put the "I" in lie

'Cause I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

And baby bang bang, kiss kiss

You and I got to put an end to this

We cheat, cheat, cheat

I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat

If you’re unfaithful, put your hands in the air

Hands in the air, hands in the air

Like you’re under arrest with a guilty conscience

Stick 'em up if you’ve got a guilty conscience, yeah

(Put your hands in the air

Hands in the air, hands in the air)

Did you sell yourself out?

(Under arrest with a guilty conscience

Stick 'em up if you’ve got a guilty conscience, yeah)

[Outro]

They lay together in the silent aftermath

Butterflies subsiding but they can never look back
