You've Been Cheatin'
Deceitful Love: Unmasking Betrayal in Phil Collins' Song
Lyrics
I've been trying hard to forget
I have been making a significant effort to erase from my mind
That you've been cheating
The realization that you have been unfaithful
Wishin' you I'd never met
Regretting the day I encountered you
'Cause you've been cheatin'
Because you have been engaging in deceitful behavior
Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
Aware that falsehoods are evident in your gaze
And from wrong you'll never be free
You will never escape the consequences of wrongdoing
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
While you sit in sorrow, confessing to untruths
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me
You have been unfaithful, betraying my trust
Oh yeah
Expression of emphasis or agreement
Yeah, you made me suspect and I know
You have made me suspicious, and I am aware
You don't want me
You do not desire my presence or affection
Cookies crumble, and that's how it goes
Things fall apart, and that is the nature of life
You don't want me
You do not want me anymore
Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
Aware that lies can be perceived through your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
You are bound by the consequences of your wrongdoing
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
While you weep, admitting to your falsehoods
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me
You have been unfaithful, betraying my trust
Oh yeah
Another lover you discover
Discovering another lover in your life
Our love's gone and I don't know why
Our love has disappeared, and I am perplexed
It's just as well, though at last I do know
It's a relief because now I know
All you said was just a lie
All your declarations were false
So I'm trying hard to forget
Once again, attempting to erase from my mind
That you've been cheatin'
The fact that you have been unfaithful
And wishin' you I'd never met
Regretting the day I encountered you
'Cause you've been cheating
Because you have been engaging in deceitful behavior
Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
Aware that lies can be perceived through your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
You are bound by the consequences of your wrongdoing
While you sit cryin', well you've been lyin'
While you sit in sorrow, confessing to untruths
Girl you've been cheatin', cheatin' on me
You, girl, have been unfaithful, betraying my trust
Ooh, ooh, baby (you've been cheating)
Expressing emotional reaction or emphasis
You been cheatin' (you've been cheating)
You have been unfaithful
You been cheatin' on me (you've been cheating)
You have been unfaithful to me
