lyrics

Long days, short nights, mid-July
I was all of fifteen years old
Out my window upstairs
By the pool next door
She looked like Marylin Monroe

Hot nights, cold sweats, by the time
I got the nerve to say hello
Her daddy got a job, said "she's moving away"
She was telling me she had to go

There she goes, out the driveway
Leaving much to my chagrin
She wasn't the first
But it wasn't the worst time
I was cheated out of love again

Well, a few years later
I'm in a rockin' band playing
Every Friday and Saturday night
Bass player says "that girl's giving you the eye"
We must be doing something right

So I sent her a drink
And we played something slow
So I could sing something sensitive
She wound up dancing with some other guy
And I was cheated out of love again

There she goes, out the back way
To a parking lot full of sin
She found a man with a bed in his van
And I was cheated out of love again

Cheated out of love
Cheated out of love again

I finally found a girl that could rule my world
Someone to spend the rest of my life
I got a diamond ring and I promised her things
And I took her to be my wife

Imagine my surprise and the tears in my eyes
When I was cheated out of love again
I came home one night after a show
And there's another man in my bed

There I go, down the highway
When will it ever end
Will I finally find a girl that's mine
Or be cheated out of love again?
