Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think you’re cheating on me
I have a hunch that you have been cheating on me
That’s what somebody said, somebody told me that
You have been cheating on me
You have been cheating on me
Why would you cheat on me?
(Why would you do it?)
Why would you cheat on me?

Tried to give you everything
I was great with your family
Yeah I liked your friends, too
Can’t forget about Sammy
That didn’t matter to you, not one mother fuckin’ bit
Now comes the part where I call you a fuckin’ bitch
But I don’t wanna do that
I don’t wanna do that
(NOOOOO)
I love you so much babe
But I need the facts
(I need the facts)
I need the truth
