It's a Cheating Situation - John Prine, Dolores Keane

It’s a cheating, situation

A stealing, invitation

To take what’s not really ours

To make it through the midnight hours

It’s a cheating, situation

Just a cheap imitation

Doing what we have, to do

When there’s no love at home

There’s no use in pretending

There’ll be a happy ending

Where our love’s concerned

Sweetheart, we both know

We’ll take love where we find it

It’s all we’ve got, for we know they’re not

Gonna let us go

It’s a cheating situation

When there’s no love at home
