Uriah Heep — Cheat 'N' Lie lyrics

(Hensley)

Well, it seems that I've been cheated
And it would appear that I've been lied to
All the promises that you repeated
Were never destined to come true.
When I stop to think how I once trusted you,
It's harder still to bear this doubt.
I'm an innocent victim of heartbreaking circumstances,
And I still can't get it figured out.

All you did was cheat and lie
Now you've gone and made me cry
My heart is heavy and I just can't get it straight,
Just the way you made me feel,
A wound that only time can heal.
Won't you take a little time to show me my mistake.
