I Should Have Cheated
Keyshia Cole Lyrics

First of all let me say
I want to make a statement to begin with.

You can't accuse me of all the things
You cannot blame me for everything.

You know that you are guilty of
You know that you have done something wrong.

And I see that it is easy for you to blame
It seems easy for you to put the blame on me.

Everything on me
You blame everything on me.

If that's the case I should go have my fun
If that's how you see it, I might as well go have my fun.

And do all the things you say I do
I might as well do all the things that you accuse me of.

Boy I can't continue to take this from you
I cannot tolerate this anymore.

I might as well have cheated on you (you)
I might as well have cheated on you, as you accuse me of doing so.

As much as you accused me of cheating
You accuse me of cheating a lot.

I might as well have lied to you
It would be the same as lying to you, given the accusations.

As much as you accused me of lying
You keep accusing me of lying.

I might as well have gone to the club (I might as well, might as well)
Going to the club would be nothing different, as per your accusations.

As much as you accused me of clubbin' (I might as well, might as well)
You accused me of clubbing a lot.

I might as well have given away my love
Losing all of my love, just like you accuse me of.

As much as you accused me
You continually accuse me of things.

Let me say I was out with somebody else
Let me clarify, I was out with someone else.

When my girl told me she saw you with some girl
When my friend saw you with another girl.

(Some girl)
I don't really know who the girl was.

But I didn't accuse you of something that I didn't see myself (see myself)
But I didn't blame you for something that I was not sure about.

Realize that I would never do anything to disrespect you
Believe me, I will never do anything to hurt you.

Trust me, you gotta stop accusing me
Trust me, you should stop blaming me.

Don't you know I wish I knew
I wish I knew.

That you would treat me this way
I didn't expect you to treat me like this.

If you don't promise me
If you can't promise me.

That you've changed your ways I'm leaving today
That you will be different, I'm leaving starting today.

And I ain't coming back
I am not returning.

And you made it like that
You brought this upon yourself.

Was unfair to me
You treated me unfairly.

All this jealousy
You are just jealous.

I'm your everything
I mean everything to you.

What will you do without me
If I'm not there, what will you do?

Why you tripping?
Why are you acting crazy?

I might as well have cheated on you (oh, baby)
Given your accusations, I might as well have cheated on you.

As much as you accused me of cheating
You accuse me of cheating a lot.

I might as well have lied to you (that I might, might as well)
It would be the same as lying to you, given the accusations.

As much as you accused me of lying (but I didn't)
You say I lie, but I don't.

I might as well have gone to the club (baby, baby)
As per your accusations, going to the club is nothing new.

As much as you accused me of clubbin' (as much as you accused me)
You keep accusing me of going to the club.

I might as well have given away my love (I should've gave it all away)
Giving my love away, just like you accuse me of.

As much as you accused me
You continually accuse me of things.

I should have lied
I should have made up a story.

I should have cheated
I should have been unfaithful.

Maybe I should have went out to the club
Maybe I should have gone to the club.

Or maybe I, should have done it
Or maybe I should have done what you accused me of.

Should have given away all my love
I should have disclosed all my love or given it away.

Or maybe I, I should have played you
Maybe I should have deceived you.

'Cause you don't appreciate me, no
You do not value me.

And I tried to stay down with you
I tried to remain loyal to you.

But you're making it hard for me (can't you see it baby that)
But it's hard for me, can't you see that?

I should have cheated on you
I should have been unfaithful to you.

As much as you accused me of cheating
You continuously accuse me of cheating.

I should have lied to you (that I might, might as well)
I should have lied to you, considering the accusations.

As much as you accused me of lying (lying)
You always accuse me of lying.

I should have gone to the club (clubbin')
I should have gone to the club as you wanted.

As much as you accused me of clubbin' (clubbin')
You always accuse me of going to the club.

(I love you)
I love you.

As much as you accused me of cheating
You continuously accuse me of cheating.

I should have cheated
I should have cheated.
