I Wouldn't Cheat On Her If She Was Mine

(Album: I Just Started Hatin' Cheatin' Songs Today - 1974)

I reached out my hand to gently touch her
For a moment there I think she almost smiled
Then she trembled turned away whispered some day not today
Getting over bitter mem'ries takes awhile

Some one else has built a wall of ice between us
I'll melt it all away a little at a time
I'll just take her slow until she knows the past is all behind
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine

I try to understand how she must feel
Wanting love so bad afraid to try
I'll do all a man can do to let her know it's love this time
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine

It's so hard for her to see love's other side
When the only love she's known's the hurting kind
I'll just take her slow until she knows the past is all behind
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine

No, I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine...
