cheating on the blues

he left you - she left me

drowning in this misery

we stopped living

when they said goodbye

we've been faithful to these blues

but i've had enough - now how about you

don't you think we've earned the right

to go cheating on the blues tonight

cheating on the blues tonight

let's go out and do it right

throw it into overdrive

and get on down the road

shake it till the break of dawn

party till the heartache's gone

we'll have us a real good time

cheating on the blues tonight

pick you up at half past eight

you can bet i won't be late

with any luck we'll make the dance by nine

we won't talk about the past

let old memories die at last

have some fun - keep it light

cheating on the blues tonight
