Lyrics
Haven't you heard
About the guy
Known as the cheater
He'll take your girl
And then he'll lie
And he'll mistreat her
It seems every day now
You hear people say now
Look out
For the cheater
Make way for the fool hearted clown
Look out
For the cheater
He's gonna build you up
Just to let you down
All of you girls had better stay
Inside your door now
He'll hurt you once then turn around
And hurt you some more now
When he's out betraying
You'll hear people saying
Look out
For the cheater
Make way for the fool hearted clown
Look out
For the cheater
He's gonna build you up
Just to let you down
That cheater
Took my baby
Away from me, yes, and now
I don't mean maybe
I'll get her back
Just wait and see
Wait and see
One of these days he'll find a girl
Who knows all about him
She's gonna break his carefree heart
And go on without him
And you'll hear thereafter
Above all the laughter
Tough luck
For the cheater
Too bad
For the fool hearted clown
Tough break
For the cheater
Who used to build you up
Just to let you down
Tough luck
For the cheater
Too bad
For the fool hearted clown
Tough break
For the cheater
Who used to build you up
Just to let you down
