Lyrics
Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin'
Cheating is emphasized and repeated, suggesting a strong focus on betrayal.
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
The consequence of cheating is expressed as heartbreak, leading to tears and sorrow.
You'll cry and cry, you gonna try to sleep

But sleep won't come the whole night through
Despite efforts, the cheater will find it difficult to experience uninterrupted sleep.
Your cheatin' heart is gonna tell on you
The theme of betrayal is reinforced, indicating that the cheating heart will eventually expose the truth.
When tears come down like falling rain
Comparing tears to falling rain suggests a torrent of emotions, emphasizing the intensity of the emotional distress.
You gonna toss around, you gonna call my name
Restlessness and yearning are depicted, with the cheater calling out the name of the betrayed person.
You gonna walk the floor just the way I do

You gonna walk the floor just the way I do
