“Cheating” is the second single from John Newman’s Tribute.
In this highly charged neo-soul jam, John takes the moral high position and tells off his cheating girlfriend, all while insisting that he’ll still love her.
[Verse 1]
I saw you Sunday, Monday, ah!
Hanging with your man again
You came back on a Tuesday, ah!
With that cold-heart look of shame
[Chorus 1]
Oh I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
Cause cheating's just a thing you do
It's just a thing you do
[Verse 2]
I saw you Friday, Sunday, ah!
Tearing up another heart
You came home a-crying, ah!
Why'd you take it all so hard?
[Chorus 2]
You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you
Yeah, I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah
[Interlude]
Oh, oh, ohh...
I've been told you baby
Girl you done some things so bad to me
And I know
[Bridge]
You are the one that's creeping
You are the one that's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me
You are the one that's creeping
You are the one that's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me
You are the one that's creeping
You are the one that's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me (Oh...)
You are the one that's creeping
You are the one that's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me
[Chorus 2]
You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you
Yeah, I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah
[Outro]
Do, no, no, no, no!
No, no! Uh!
You gotta, gotta, cheat!
No...
