He left you - she left me Drowning in this misery We stopped living When they said goodbye We've been faithful to these blues But I've had enough - now how about you Don't you think we've earned the right To go cheating on the blues tonight Cheating on the blues tonight Let's go out and do it right Throw it into overdrive And get on down the road Shake it till the break of dawn Party till the heartache's gone We'll have us a real good time Cheating on the blues tonight Pick you up at half past eight You can bet I won't be late With any luck we'll make the dance by nine We won't talk about the past Let old memories die at last Have some fun - keep it light Cheating on the blues tonight Cheating on the blues tonight Let's go out and do it right Throw it into overdrive And get on down the road Shake it till the break of dawn Party till the heartache's gone We'll have us a real good time Cheating on the blues tonight
