Cheaters Never Prosper


Everybody loves talkin' 'bout themselves
So much for showing interest
Everyone's self-absorbed, no one wants it anymore
Maybe we'll do something different

Look into these pearly whites
Your smile, contempt and my delight
It walks away, nothing to say

Sometimes we don't understand
We let these things slip through our hands
Fan the flames of what you see
It isn't me, it isn't me
Oh no no no no

Everybody hates hearin' 'bout themselves
So much for self-reliance
Everyone's so concerned, losing track, they can't discern
Maybe I've been too defiant

Look into this heart that beats
Your eyes distrusting what you see
You walk away, nothing to say

Sometimes we don't understand
We let these things slip through our hands
Fan the flames of what you see
It isn't me, it isn't me
Oh no no no no

Maybe I've not told the truth
Why can't you give it one more chance?
Well everybody makes mistakes
Is this a war zone or romance?

Cheaters never prosper
But it's different in my mind
You're never mine, you're never mine

Sometimes we don't understand
We let these things slip through our hands
Fan the flames of what you see
It isn't me, it isn't me
Oh no no no no

Please ignore what you have seen
It wasn't me, oh no no no well yeah
