Mickey Gilley Lyrics
"She Cheats on Me"

(Glenn Barber)

She wakes me every morning with a touch of her hand
A soft voice says good morning dear
Lips like red roses whisper my name
And I thrill to her presence so near.

Eyes bright as midnight a purplish gleam
And a luster that grows from her cheeks
My tears they almost show but she must never know
That I know that she cheats on me.

She stand at the doorway and smiles up at me
And then she says darling, have a good day
A sweet kind of sadness swells up in my heart
As I look down at her angel face.

She's hiding a secret that I help her keep
To lose her I couldn't conceive
So I just let it go, so she will never know
That I know that she cheats on me.

I come home in the evening, she meets me at the door
Her smile melts my anger away
A warm cup of coffee, my slippers by the chair
It's the end of another long day.

I can't fight this feeling that I have for my wife
Such beauty to lie and deceive
So I just let her go, so she must never know
That I know that she cheats on me...
