It’s A Cheating Situation John Prine (Ft. 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
Love and try to hide it
It's all we got, for we know
They're not gonna let us go

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
