Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Your cheatin’ heart will make you weepYou’ll cry and cry and try to sleepBut sleep won’t come the whole night throughYour cheatin’ heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin’ rainYou’ll toss around and call my nameYou’ll walk the floor the way I doYour cheatin’ heart will tell on you
Your cheatin’ heart will pine somedayAnd crave the love you threw awayThe time will come when you’ll be blueYour cheatin’ heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin’ rainYou’ll toss around and call my nameYou’ll walk the floor the way I doYour cheatin’ heart will tell on you
