Dear Chump Lady, Please catalog icky cheater lyrics
Dear Chump Lady,
I have so enjoyed reading your blog since I stumbled across an article of yours on HuffPo.
I was thinking of your recent post about the delusional rantings of an OW who was “romanticising” her cheating ways when a song that I particularly find annoying came on the radio. It is by “Heart” and is a self-serving recount of a one-night-stand by this useless woman who picks up a hitchhiker that she refers to as “this lonely boy.” She takes him to “this hotel, a place I knew well” and they “made magic that night.” See, it’s okay to cheat as long as magic is involved. Well, it turns out that she was actually indulging in sperm theft, because her poor Chump couldn’t get her pregnant and the “lonely boy” was too dumb to use a condom. I hope their beleaguered offspring didn’t end up with her morals and his brains! I am also concerned for her poor understanding of sex ed as she explains their activities during the night with the following –
“I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree”
Oh ick. That’s just really nasty.
I would be really interested to hear your take on the nonsense in these “romance” songs where hefty layers of spackle are applied to gloss up really obnoxious behaviour. Maybe some of your regulars also have issues with songs and would like to analyse the “spackle-speak” and reinterpret them for fun and therapy.
Best regards,
JD
Dear JD,
Oh this should be fun. I’m sure the chumplings can share some really lugubrious awful crap. I had fun surfing youtube looking for an appropriate, illustrative cheater song and settled on this gem: “Release Me” by Engelbert Humperdinck circa 1985. Check out the video! Engelbert and his luxurious mustache that loves two women — “Her lips are warm while yours are cold/Release me darling, let me go!” Subtext, but please do the humiliating dance of pick me first. Apparently she’s not leaving, because they’re sleeping in satin sheets together. (With a zebra-print headboard! Who designed this bedroom? Siegfried and Roy?) I have so many questions! Does he wax his chest? How did he find a “new love, dear” and taste her lips, while simultaneously imploring his current girlfriend that she must release him so he doesn’t “live a lie”? Were yellow Oxford shirts ever fashionable? And — is this a man’s bedroom? Because he brings his new woman back to the same bed! ICK!!!
I wish I had some goopy cheater love song to share with you, but my cheating ex was strangely devoid of musical taste. He was a chameleon and would pretend to like whatever I liked. (I’m sure the Richard Thompson CDs are gathering dust as I type.) But I do remember once right before DDay he brought home a CD mix made for him by the office intern, who he was most likely boinking (the Christmas office party was so very awkward, I should’ve clued in). She was, like, 20 and he was like, 50. And on the mix was — “Oh Mickey You’re So Fine.” A song that came out before she was born, and as he was comparatively ancient, she must’ve made a stab at what he might enjoy, but missed by an entire decade (FYI, Samara — Messina and Loggins) — but you know, the kibbles were good: “Oh Mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine, you blow my mind, HEY MICKEY! HEY MICKEY!” What twisted thing he was thinking playing it for me, I have no idea. Retarded women lust me! Stand in awe!
So chumps, I put it to you — any cheater songs that make your skin crawl? The goopier the better. Please share!
“Oh it’s sad to belong to someone else
when the right one comes along.”
Was that Hall and Oats? Some time in the 70’s
And:
“If Lovin’ You is Wrong
I Don’t Wanna Be Right.”
Not Hall and Oates. England Dan and John Ford Coley.
And here’s a song I’ve always kind of liked:
Me-e a-and Mrs. – Mrs. Jones (Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones….)
We got a thing goin’ on.
We both know it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong
To let it cool down now…
CL, I take issue with your insulting Engelbert’s luxurious mustasche. It’s a work of art. What do you have against mustache rides? 🙂
It is an exceptional mustache, that’s true. I would not want to “ride” it tho. Ewww!!!!
Nord:
Moustaches always get food caught in them. Ugh.
And hey, can we throw in the current cheater du jour, Leann Rimes, and her song ‘borrowed’?
I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I’m starting to believe it ain’t the whole truth
As we’re lying side by side, I get the whole you
I Wanna hold out, but gotta hold on,
Even though I know it’s wrong
Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed
Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her,
The way you make love to me?
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
Its pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It’s a short high and long low,
Every time you have to go
Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed
Only borrowed
How much time is left and you don’t return?
And you don’t return?
How much time?
Oh it’s no return, no return, how much time?
[ Lyrics from http://www.songonlyrics.com/leann-rimes-borrowed-lyrics ]
I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
And I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed, only borrowed,
Cause you’re borrowed
And gag reflex has kicked in.
Borrowed? Is that the new word for “stolen”?
It’s a new word for My LIttle Pony wants a new rider.
Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes. I thought it was a stupid song even before I was chumped.
The piña colada song always made my skin crawl. Seriously! Now it makes me heave.
I also hate “Lips of an Angel” and sadly I used to love it. Before I realised … Well Anything!
“Lips of an Angel” always made my skin crawl when I heard it, even though the melody and his voice are so nice. And shockingly, my H played it often. Gah! *slaps forehead*
Oh no…now to add insult to injury, I have the idiotic pina colada song stuck in my head. Never has anyone managed to so perfectly capture the magic and romance of searching for a new affair partner. GAG!!!
LMAO – That’s just freakin nuts giving some older guy a mixed tape with “Mickey” on it!
I think the drama queen and drama king cheaters (which I’m guessing most are) must all use the mixed CD to enhance their experience. To add a soundtrack to their little romance drama playing out. Very narcissistic. Also I’m wondering if music helps them to express emotions to others that they don’t REALLY feel because they can’t the way normal people can. Anyhoo… Very soon after the ex douche and I were back in touch with each other, he began giving me songs. By the end of the EA he had given me 30 total. I guess the cheesiest of the bunch are :
Even Now/Barry Manilow
Even now
When there’s someone else who cares
When there’s someone home whos waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as Im climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she wont see
That even now
When I know it wasn’t right
And I found a better life than what we had
Even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
And I can’t believe it still could hurt so bad
LOL Even Now I still can’t believe I ever allowed myself to get involved with such a douche not once in my lifetime but twice.
Every Rose Has Its Thorn/Poison
CHEESIEST SONG EVER.
Oh Barry, no!
Aww thank you CL! LOL
Me as well – can’t believe I got involved with the same douche twice – 20 years apart. I. AM. INSANELY. ANGRY. WTF I mean I won’t kick puppies or bite the heads off kittens – but damn, this feels awful. There must be something I can DO with this. Anger is part of healing right? This is fucked up guys….. I don’t listen to any music anymore – X always listened to Pandora and it feels like all music is contaminated – altho I’m doing afro-carribean dance and its heavy on drums – for one class there’s like 10 live drummers – I swear, they lift the floor!!!! Its like nirvana……
Erika – I went through something similar with anger. I had a hard time of it. I was raised in a way that I was taught to repress anger. I wasn’t allowed to feel it. It’s a normal human emotion and there is a right way to deal with it, but repressing it isn’t healthy. I was conditioned to believe I was wrong for even feeling it, so it felt like I had to get rid of it somehow, or do something, act on it in someway to get rid of it.
My therapist said to me once in a kind of frustrated tone, “You can’t get angry at this guy! Why?”
You may be resisting and that’s why it feels awful. I’m no expert so I don’t know. Just my experience with anger.
It took me a while to realize I’m allowed to be angry at other people. I’m allowed to be angry and even enjoy it if I fucking want to. That’s when I felt it but didn’t feel like I had to do anything about it like kick puppies and bite the heads off kittens. LOL I don’t know if that makes sense.
Oh, Chump Lady, the best cake song ever…..”Torn Between Two Lovers” by Mary MacGregor. Gag and retch.
“Unfaithful” by Rhianna. Holy crap….
“And I know that he knows I’m unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying”
The song has to be heard to be believed. The lyrics are downright cringe-inducing, which is probably the point.
RiRi’s voice sounds amazing though (as usual). And if anybody knows about dysfunctional relationships….
Yeah, it’s killing *him*, but not her apparently. Sociopathy set to song.
HAHAHA. She sure does, Chris!! I find it so upsetting that she is serving as some kind of role model for a generation of young women.
Here’s a goodie, by a male artist:
Spinning your umbrella over your head
You should be in bed but you’re here instead
Walking with me towards a midnight swim
I can give you, baby, what you can’t get from him
Songbird’s singing in an old dead tree
The way you drive honey scares the hell out of me
A hundred miles an hour on a brand new road
Look at me again, you’ll make my heart explode
Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It’s you and me up against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion’s den
Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again
Clouds roll by, laying up on the hill
Everything is still, do you think we will?
If we do, there’ll be no turning back
If we don’t, well, there is no chance of that
Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It’s you and me up against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion’s den
Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin’ me
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin’ me
Cars in the distance, a bicycle bell
Dogs are barking as the kingdom fell
In its place stood a golden town
Where people walk without touching the ground
Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It’s you and me now against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion’s den
Baby, I can’t sleep at all until I see you again
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin’ me
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin’ me, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can’t say I’m familiar with this song.
However, I remember finding an earring in my STBX’s pocket when I was ironing his shirt. And obviously, it wasn’t mine…..
His story – he found it on the floor at the club he was working and picked it up thinking it was mine.
What’s with the earrings?! My ex had that move. Getting rid of the evidence I guess.
An actual exchange I had with an OW: Me: I found your underwear. Her: I found your earrings.
Chump lady:
Were they actually your earrings? Or, some other OWs earrings?
I’m thinking that your ex was cheating on the OW, too.
No, they were mine. I left them at his cabin (OW hookup spot as it turned out). He probably had some explaining to do.
You’re right. lotsa’ ‘splaining. LOL.
OMG. You can’t make this shit up.
Your post made me think back to when I found a condom in my H’s pant’s packet and he says “Oh, I found that on the floor in the men’s restroom.” Your right, you just can’t make up the shit that comes out of cheaters mouths! And to think, he really thought he was so smart that he was able to think so quickly on his feet! Sorry, got off track… I was trying to come up with the worse cheating song that makes my skin crawl… There are so many!
Um I was getting dressed one morning and threw on a pair of underpants. At the time I was in a hurry and to be honest I probably have 80 pairs so while they didn’t look familiar like I said I have ALOT of underpants. ( I know it’s weird but I do). Anyways to make a long story short they didnt fit right but i figured they were just stretched out. I didn’t put two and two together until I took them off and noticed they were a size medium (I am an extra small), yes people I literally wore the ow underpants and entire day!!!! Gosh I am an idiot 🙂
Oh my gosh Pearl!!!! That is crazy!!!!
I’m wondering if it is because many guys have some kind of thing about ears. I swear to god, now that I’m out dating again 80% of the guys i’ve gone out with have some kind of ear fetish. So… I think maybe an earring is some kind of small, yet personal object that they hang onto, kind of like a souvenir. Helps to keep the fantasy real, even when they are apart.
And can we get an “Awwwwwww…. it is true love and soul matery.” Snort.
How about “If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right”:
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
Knowing I got a wife and two little children
Depending on me too
A vomit-worthy classic, for sure.
Speaking of CAKE songs, I think one reason I took this cover tune as the National Anthem of my divorce was that it was by a band named . . . just that.
“Just turn around/you’re not welcome anymore,” indeed. Boo-yah!
Awesome song, Nomar, the but assignment is dreadful cheater songs. 🙂 This is too awesome for the company it is keeping on this thread.
I plead guilty to doing the wrong homework assignment. Not the first time for me.
But hey, IT’S A BAND NAMED “CAKE!” There’s gotta be a cosmic message in there, right? If there were a great band named “Chump” I’d have to post a link to their music, too!
The original tune was great, but this version is even better. Crank it up!
I embedded the video for your listening pleasure. 🙂
Thanks CL. This was fun!
Sunny Sweeney, From A Table Away. From the mistress’s point of view. It’s quite good- it shows what a liar the cheating spouse is.
Maroon 5- Wake Up Call. From the betrayed spouse’s point of view. Love that song.
The Other Guy- Little River Band.
The Other Woman- Radio/Ray Parker Junior
Separate Ways- Journey
Saving All My Love For You- Whitney Houston
Stay – by Sugarland. Its about an OW who finally wakes up and calls it quits.
Run to You – Bryan Adams
“She’s got a heart of gold, she’d never let me down.
But you’re the one that always turns me on, keeps me coming round.
I know her love is true
But its so damn easy makin love to you
I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch
Im gonna run to you!”
Used to love that song. blech!
Damn it, now Ive got this song stuck in my head. Great.
A reprieve for the Bryan Adams song:) He has said that the ‘other woman’ was his guitar.
Oh how about “Secret Lovers” that’s an oldy but a goody!!
Secret lovers that’s what we are,
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel,
Cause we both belong to someone else,
But we can’t let go cause what we feel is
oh so real…
So real,
So real….
It is! It REALLY is! It’s sooo real! Why can’t people get that?!
LMAO
How about that old country song “Lovin’ On Back Streets” — how the poor cheater suffers in order to be with his real love, yuck!
We tried to pick the most unlikely places
Where no one’s out to know us by our name
And for a while we shared the sweet affection
That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame
Of loving on back streets and living on main
Suffering hell through the daylight
For the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows trading passion for pain
Loving on back streets and living on main
In the morning when I face the one who owns me
And she confronts me with some things I can’t explain
Then once again I’ll hate myself for living
And wonder just how long my mind can stand the strain
Of loving on back streets and living on main
Suffering hell through the daylight
For the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows trading passion for pain
Loving on back streets and living on main
Loving on back streets and living on main
And if you can’t be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you’re with
Don’t be angry, don’t be sad
Don’t sit cryin’, talkin’ ’bout the good times you had
Well there’s a girl, sittin’ right next to you
And she’s just waiting for something to do
Love the One You’re With
Oh yea! That’s the anthem! I will never again date a man who likes that song.
I heard it through the grape vine
Back door man. The doors
Is that what back door man is about???
I swear to God I always thought Jim had the other meaning of “back door man” in mind. Holy cow. I’m totally clueless (and, evidently, quite unwell).
LOL
LOL. The Doors’ “Back Door Man” is actually a cover of an old Willie Dixon song. The title refers to an old Southern expression for a guy who has an affair with a married woman. The phrase has shown up in countless old blues songs.
Given Jim’s propensity for sleeping around (whether single or in a relationship), he’s probably quite familiar with the term.
O.P.P. – I never even realized what O.P.P. was about until a year ago! I just thought it was fun catchy tune! They lyrics never registered. LOL
You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OPP (Every last homie)
You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OPP (All the homies)
LOL now am on youtube trying to listen to all of these songs. The one that comes to mind is Should’ve said no by Taylor Swift. Reminds me of all the begging my husband is doing. Also the one by Kenny Rogers Daytime friends. “day time friends, nightime lovers hoping no one else discovers”
My millstone used to post songs like these on FB for OW. The one that really caused a blowout was a real oldie “One Has My Heart”. The irony is, that he’s the one threatening me if I file for divorce.
One has my name and the other has my heart
With one I’ll remain That’s when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other’s eyes’re blue
To one I am tied, To the other I am true
One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love To a heart that can’t be free
So I’ll go on living My life’s just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name
Here’s a unique entry. This is from a movie called Devil’s Carnival. We follow three people who have ended up in hell, all connected to one of Aesop’s Fables. One girl follows the story of the scorpion and the frog. She frees a man called the scorpion, catches him in the arms of another woman. But he convinces her to help him in his “act” anyway. He throws knives while she is on a giant wheel. Being that this is hell, you know this can’t end well and he ends up throwing a knife through her heart.
As he is convincing her to be strapped to a wheel he sings a song to her called Trust Me. It’s a cheater’s song. Some lyrics.
“So trust me, trust me
Darling dear
I’m so sincere
There’s no need to tear
Trust me, trust me
Darling, do . . .
Just like I trust you
So don’t cry, crybaby
All dressed in green
How many kisses do you need?
One for your tummy
One for your cheek
One for the devil inside . . .
Of . . . me”
THIS IS BY JILL SCOTT, SHE IS OBVIOUSLY THE OW, TALK ABOUT PICK ME DANCE MINUS HER HUMILIATION. THIS SONG ALWAYS MADE ME SICK!!! NOW I’M LIVING IT
Heard you got married You got married,
that don’t really make any
It don’t really make any sense,
I mean it’s not like I I didn’t think you were seein’ other people or whatever
I mean, I was seein’ other people but You know what this is, you know what it was You, I can’t say I really understand though
You chose her ’cause she’s sweet as pie
Take what you give, even your life
But baby, are happy without me?
She scrubs your back, washes your clothes
Gives you everything that you ask for
But don’t you ever want more?
‘Cause my love
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn’t you know this or didn’t you notice?
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn’t you know this or didn’t you notice?
What we have don’t need no words
Deeper than anything you ever heard
I ain’t reachin’, baby, I know I should be your lady
You say you’re happy, you say you’re great
But you know and I know you really ain’t
You need to come be with me That’s the way it’s supposed to be
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn’t you know this or didn’t you notice?
My love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer
Didn’t you know this or didn’t you notice?
‘Cause oh, all I ever do is think about you, baby
I hold you in my arms inside my dreams
And I know what I know and what I know is
That no matter where you go, you will always think of me
Vomit inducing
This one isn’t as well know, and I hate to admit that I really used to like this song when I was younger. Of course, I wasn’t really paying attention to the lyrics. I had no frame of reference back then.
Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie B. Hawkins. It begins…
“That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream, I was your hero
Isn’t that how it always starts? (very heavy sigh). And it only gets worse from there. The BS gets trashed all the way through this ode to infidelity Won’t ever listen to this song again 🙂 Sorry, not having a good night.
I always loved that song. I never realized until right now what it meant.
Sigh.
Bwaaahahahahahaaaaaa the EH video! And to make it even better asshole grew a goatee a couple of months ago! And he was the one that pointed out to me that the Top 40 hit (recent) A Team is about a crack whore, WTF? Think he was trying to tell me something? Or was he just trying to impress me with his intelligence in deciphering lyrics. Gag Again.
Used to love this song. Shortly after BD I would fantasize that it was me ‘n’ H’s song, for when he’d cheat on OW with me.
Hahhhhah.
Not fucking happening.
Dark End of the Street
At the dark end of the street
That’s where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don’t belong
Living in darkness, to right our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time’s gonna take it’s toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It’s a sin and we know it’s wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They’re gonna to find us, they’re gonna to find us
Someday they may come along
And find us along someday
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hours roll round
And if by chance we’re both taken in
And taken down the town
But if we should leave before then
And just walk on by
Oh sweet baby, please don’t you cry
‘Cause tonight we’ll share the same dream
At the dark end of the street
You and me, you and me, you and me
At the dark end of the street
A new one for the list. Meshell Ndegéocello “If That’s Your Boyfriend He Wasn’t Last Night.” Which is so in your face, I wonder if it isn’t satire. On the flip side, she also has an awesome version of “Who Is He and What Is He to You?” — great chump song.
Bryan Adams’ ” Run to You”.
Ms. Amy Winehouse, Blake’s former other woman, writing about how he went back to his “same old safe bet” (i.e. the girlfriend he was with when he met and hooked up with Amy initially) in “Back to Black”.
Yeah… and that didn’t wind up so well for either of them. He lands in jail and she’s dead.
Yes, well, that’s, I believe, when he came back to her yet again, isn’t it? Left his girlfriend again for Amy, and then they got married. And then divorced? Oh whatever. It is just crazy trying to sort out the machinations of the drug addled.
Still, great song. She was a powerful voice!
Creep – TLC – everybody is cheating…
The twenty second of loneliness
And we’ve been through so many things.
I love my man with all honesty,
But I know he’s cheating on me.
Look him in the eyes,
But all he tells me is lies to keep me near.
I’ll never leave him down though I might mess around.
It’s only ’cause I need some affection, oh.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin’ on,
On the down low, ‘cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep yeah, ’cause he doesn’t know what I do
And no attention goes to show oh.
Oo! Here’s one. This is actually the one that made Katy Perry famous. Yes, “I kissed a girl and I liked it” is about infidelity. But everyone listens to that ONE key line and thinks “Oh that’s so progressive! It’s about gay rights and coming out!” Uh, no. Listen to the line that IMMEDIATELY follows that one.
“I kissed a girl and I liked it…
I HOPE MY BOYFRIEND DON’T MIND IT”
^^yeah. Everyone seems to ignore that little tidbit that changes the entire tone of that song.
And this gem of a song I have to hear on the radios at work all the time. Enrique Iglesias of all people. “Baby I Like it”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmJBdvhPoUY
It’s one of those annoying dance songs designed for beats with the assumption that no one is really listening to the lyrics, which get really redundant and repetitive after the first verse. I happen to be the only person at work that actually listens to the lyrics of the songs we play (I have to hear them all the time anyway, why not?) I caught these lovely pieces:
“My girlfriend isn’t here and I’m all alone
Your boyfriend’s out of town and he doesn’t have to know”
What could be a fun club song about two people meeting and dancing on the dancefloor changes into something smarmy at that point. Seriously, I have encountered SO FRIKKIN’ MANY jerks who have sexually propositioned me, and when I said “No, I’m engaged” they reply with “He doesn’t have to know.” That’s one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Hearing those words in this song just makes me see red.
This is a great song, as long as you don’t pay attention to the words. Also happens to be the one my STBX started playing alot 8 months before D-day:
Clarence Carter, “Slip Away”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJgbv5W0hWc
Showing my age, and showing the other side of it:
Talking In Your Sleep, Crystal Gayle.
Three o’clock in the mornin’
And it looks like it’s gonna be
Another sleepless night
I’ve been listenin’ to your dreams
And gettin’ very low
Wond’rin’ what I can do
Maybe I’m bein’ foolish
‘Cause I haven’t heard you mention
Anybody’s name at all
How I wish I could be sure
It’s me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I’ve heard it said that dreamers never lie
You’ve been talkin’ in your sleep
Sleepin’ in your dreams
With some sweet lover
Holdin’ on so tight
Lovin’ her the way
You used to love me
Talkin’ in your sleep
With lovin’ on your mind
Maybe I’m bein’ foolish
‘Cause I haven’t heard you mention
Anybody’s name at all
How I wish I could be sure
It’s me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I’ve heard it said that dreamers never lie
You’ve been talkin’ in your sleep
Sleepin’ in your dreams
With some sweet lover
Holdin’ on so tight
Lovin’ her the way
You used to love me
Talkin’ in your sleep
With lovin’ on your mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oXymWz6i6I
So, that’s BEFORE you know if they’re cheating or not, OKAY? LOL.
Please don’t think I’m in that mode! EEK!
Robert Cray does a great blues thing I’ve always loved where he takes all the blame as the OM. But I always get a sense that the lyric says this woman has done this before. Her man calls her “unfaithful woman” and says “baby don’t you lie to me no more”

Me and Mrs. Jones
Got a thing going on
We both know that it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong
To let it cool down
