Cheatin Dance Contest
I still remember the night we fought.
It was the night you got caught.
I know it wasn't part of your plan,
for me to catch you cheating with another man.
We spent five long years together.
Always happy, no matter what the weather.
I remember the first time you were accused,
but I had no evidence, so you were excused.
Everyone was telling me, but I didn't hear.
To all of them, I turned a deaf ear.
With you in my arms, that's all I would ever need.
I knew you and knew you would never make me bleed.
I still remember the night we fought.
It was the night you got caught.
I know it wasn't part of your plan,
for me to catch you cheating with another man.
It didn't take much time though,
soon enough, your true colors would show.
My love, patience and kindness never mattered.
I saw that when you stomped on my heart and it shattered.
I can't believe I trusted and said I love you,
then you betrayed me, but I guess that's just what harlots do.
It hurt so bad, I thought I was having a heart attack.
But it made me laugh, when you said you wanted me back.
I still remember the night we fought.
It was the night you got caught.
I know it wasn't part of your plan,
for me to catch you cheating with another man.
I gave you five years of my life too many.
What did you want me for, you were getting plenty.
Now from me, you won't be getting any.
Now when I see you, I see a person not worth even a penny.
