Lyrics
Everywhere you look, you can write a book
On the trouble with a woman and a man
But you can not impose, you can’t stick your nose
Into something that you don’t understand
Still you wonder
Who’s cheatin’ who? Who’s being true?
And who don’t even care anymore?
It makes you wonder
Who’s doing right with someone tonight?
And who’s car is parked next door?
I thought I knew her well, I really couldn’t tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see it felt so right when she held me tight
How could I be so blind?
Still you wonder
Who’s cheatin’ who? Who’s being true?
And who don’t even care anymore?
It makes you wonder
Who’s doing right with someone tonight?
Who’s car is parked next door?
Guitar
A heart is on the line each and every time
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night
Though it’s wrong all along, it keeps goin’ on
As long as you keep it outta sight
Still you wonder
Who’s cheatin’ who? And who’s being true?
And who don’t even care anymore?
It makes you wonder
Who’s doing right with someone tonight?
Who’s car is parked next door?
Still you wonder
Who’s cheatin’ who? And who’s being true?
And who don’t even care anymore?
It makes you wonder
Who’s doing right with someone tonight?
Who’s car is parked next door?
Still you wonder
Who’s cheatin’ who? And who’s being true?
Who don’t even care anymore?
It makes you wonder
Who’s doing right with someone tonight?
Who’s car is parked next door?
