I could make the excuse
That I was high
When I cheated on you
But what I can’t deny
Is although I knew better
I still gave it a try
And if you asked a question
It would probably be why

No I don’t love her
More than I love you
I think at the time
It was just something to do
Do I regret it
Girl I thought you knew
There ain’t nothing to me
More important than you

Now you’ll probably hold it
Over my head
It doesn’t matter to you
What I just said
When you lose your temper
And start seeing red
I cease to exist and
I might as well be dead

No I don’t love her
More than I love you
I think at the time
It was just something to do
Do I regret it
Girl I thought you knew
There ain’t nothing to me
More important than you

Girl I’m only human
Though that’s no excuse
And I hope that I’m not
Pulling on the noose
I hope you’ll forgive me
And think what’s the use
I don’t want to lose you
So let’s call a truce

No I don’t love her
More than I love you
I think at the time
It was just something to do
Do I regret it
Girl I thought you knew
There ain’t nothing to me
More important than you

I could make the excuse
That I was high
When I cheated on you
But what I can’t deny
Is although I knew better
I still gave it a try
And if you asked a question
It would probably be why
