Maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?

I hear them whispering when I walk by,
“He’s gonna break her heart, and make her cry.”
I know it’s me they’re talking about,
I bet they all think I’ll never find out.

But maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?

My friends are telling me that he’s no good,
He isn’t treating me the way he should.
“He really loves me,” that’s all I can say,
Before my tears fall, I just walk away.

Oh, but maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?

Whoa…
Deep down inside he loves me,
Though he may run around.
Deep down inside he loves me,
Someday he’ll settle down.

Oh, maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?

“He really loves me,” that’s all I can say,
Before my tears fall, I just walk away.

Oh, maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?

Oh, maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do? (fades)
