Cheatin' Man Lyrics

Honey I’m a good man
But I’m a cheatin’ man
And I’ll do all I can
To get a lady’s love
And I wanna do right
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
If I slip well then I'm sorry
Yes, I am
When I was a young boy
I used to watch my daddy play
And in my heart I’d always say
He was wrong
He had to be crazy
Knocked stone cold out of his mind
To be leaving my pretty momma home alone
She’d always sit patient and waitin’ then cussin’ and cryin’
And who would have to be there to comfort her
And I would have to look my momma right square in her eyes

And I swear that I would never hurt no one like that
Baby, I'm a good man
But I’m a cheatin’ man
And I’ll do all I can
To get a lady’s love
And I wanna do right
And I don’t wanna hurt nobody
If I slip well then I’m sorry
Yes, I am
Now that I’m older, I’ve found it’s time to settle down
Because I need some love around to make me whole
But something is funny 'cause things I swore I’d never do
I find myself all in a victim to losin’ total control
Oh yeah, 'cause recently, I ran into
Someone who reminds me of you
And even though I know that kind of thing ain’t right
I’m finding myself caught up in lies
Tryin’ to swim against the tide
And as the stage gets set for drama
I can’t stop thinkin’ about my momma
I’m a cheatin’ man
And I’ll do all I can
To get a lady’s love
Yes, sir
And I wanna do right
And I don’t wanna hurt nobody
If I slip well then I’m sorry
Yes, I am
Honey I’m a good man
But I’m a cheatin’ man
And I’ll do all I can
To get a lady’s love
And I wanna do right
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
If I slip well then I’m sorry
Yes, I am, yes, I am, yes, I am
