It was electric from the moment they crossed paths
Actively attracting but attempting to walk past
Temptation makes impatient impulses pump through married men
So just stop, breathe, count to three
Is she worth it?

Whatever this is
It doesn't feel right
Baby, think about your kids
You're not putting up a fight
Cause we could make love tonight
But you're gonna hate yourself in the morning light
So just stop, breathe, count to three
Get your head right, like

I put the I in lie
Cause I'm a cheat (I'm a cheat)
And baby, bang bang, kiss kiss
You and I got to put an end to this
So we cheat
I'm a cheat
If you're unfaithful put your hands in the air (hands in the air x3)
Like you're under arrest, with a guilty conscience
Stick em up if you've got a guilty conscience (Yeah x3)

She married young
It was a mistake
She had a son
Reluctant father, he upped and walked away
She meets a man who craves her company likes she's craving his
But honey if he seems too good to be true
Guess what? He probably is

Whatever this is
It doesn't feel right
So just stop, breathe, count to three
Get your head right

I put the I in lie
Cause I'm a cheat (I'm a cheat)
And baby, bang bang, kiss kiss
You and I got to put an end to this
So we cheat
I'm a cheat
If you're unfaithful put your hands in the air (hands in the air x3)
Like you're under arrest, with a guilty conscience
Stick em up if you've got a guilty conscience

And it's just lust
Nothing to write home about
It's just trust
Nothing to be messed around with
It might've felt good for a minute
But admit it to yourself it ain't right
When you're sleeping with your lover
But you're living with your wife
Whatever this is, Yeah
Not putting up a fight

I put the I in lie
Cause I'm a cheat (I'm a cheat)
And baby, bang bang, kiss kiss
You and I got to put an end to this
So we cheat
I'm a cheat
If you're unfaithful put your hands in the air (hands in the air x3)
Like you're under arrest, with a guilty conscience
Stick em up if you've got a guilty conscience, Yeah

They lay together in the silent aftermath
Butterflies subsiding but they can never look back
