The "I" In Lie

(Ah)
It was electric from the moment they crossed paths
Actively attracted but attemptin' 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 (your kids)
You're not putting up a fight
'Cause we could make love tonight
But you're gonna hate yourself in the mornin' light
So just stop, breathe, count to three
Get your head right, like

I put the "I-I-I-I-I-I" in lie
'Cause I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
And baby, bang-bang, kiss, kiss
You and I gotta put an end to this
So we cheat, cheat, cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat

If you're unfaithful, put your hands in the air
Hands in the air, hands in the air
Like you're under arrest with a guilty conscience
Stick 'em up if you got a guilty conscience, yeah
Yeah, yeah

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 like she's craving his
But honey, if it seems too good to be true
Well, guess what? It probably is

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

I put the "I-I-I-I-I-I" in lie
'Cause I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
And baby, bang-bang, kiss, kiss
You and I gotta put an end to this
So we cheat, cheat, cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat (and if you're feelin' unfaithful)

If you're unfaithful, put your hands in the air
Hands in the air, hands in the air
Like you're under arrest with a guilty conscience
Stick 'em up if you got a guilty conscience

And it's just lust
Nothin' to write home about
'Cause it's just trust
Nothin' 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 sleepin' with your lover
But you're livin' with your wife

Whatever this is (yeah)
You're not putting up a fight

(Ah, ooh, ooh, oh, whoa)

I put the "I-I-I-I-I-I" in lie
'Cause I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat
And baby, bang-bang, kiss, kiss
You and I gotta put an end to this
So we cheat (cheat), cheat (cheat), cheat
I'm a cheat, cheat, cheat

If you're unfaithful, get your hands in the air
Hands in the air, hands in the air
(Like you're under arrest) with a guilty conscience
(Stick 'em up if you got a guilty conscience) yeah
If you're feelin' unfaithful (put your hands in the air, hands in the air)
Did you sell yourself out? (Like you're under arrest with a guilty conscience)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (stick 'em up if you got a guilty conscience)

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