It's a cheatin' situation a stealin' invitation
To take what's not really ours and make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheatin' situation just a cheap imitation
Doin' what we have to do when there's no love at home

There's no use pretending there'll be a happy ending
Where our love's concerned sweetheart we both know
We'll take love where we find it love and try to hide it
It's all we got for we know they're not gonna let us go

It's a cheatin' situation a stealin' invitation
To take what's not really ours and make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheatin' situation just a cheap imitation
Doin' what we have to do when there's no love at home

It's a cheatin' situation when there's no love at home
