Nathan Dawe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies

Seven o'clock, comin' in when it's mornin'
You always reply with a lie when I ask you where you've been
Guess I'm the fool to ignore every warnin'
When I know what you did, I know where you been
Uh ooh
But I know what you did, I know where you been
Uh ooh
I know what you did, I know where you been
Baby, please forgive me
For what I'm about to say, and what I'm about to do
I can't take no more
I know you ain't been true, ain't got no love for you

You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
You been chasin' every girl in sight
You been messin' around, but now you're down, it's over now
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night
You been chasin' every girl in sight
You been messin' around, but now you're down, it's over now

(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Seven o'clock, comin' in when it's mornin'
You won't find me inside, I've packed my bags and walked away
You don't deserve my goodbye, so forget it (bye, bye, bye, bye)
I know what you did, I know where you been (I know where you been)

Uh ooh
But I know what you did, I know where you been (I know what you did)
Uh ooh (what you did)
I know what you did, I know where you been

You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night (oh woah no)
You been chasin' every girl in sight
You been messin' around, but now you're down, it's over now
You been cheatin' and tellin' me lies (tellin' me)
You been creepin' while I'm sleepin' at night (oh woah no)
You been chasin' every girl in sight
You been messin' around, but now you're down, it's over now

You been lyin'
Hey, you been tryin'
Yeah, you been lyin'
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
You been lyin'
Oh, you been tryin'
Oh
Hey, hey, hey
No, nonono, nonono, no
