Midland – Cheatin' By The Rules lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't call me after 5 o'clock
Change my name in your phone
Pay cash for all our drinks
We don't need those receipts
Followin' us home
We both got somebody we lost the fire for
That ain't no reason to treat 'em cruel
We're gonna keep on leading
Keep this secret that we're keeping
We're cheatin' by the rules

[Verse 1]
Parking cars 'round back at the motel room
As much as I love it, baby, don't wear too much perfume
'Cause we can't even tell our friends
When they ask us where we've been
Just smile and keep it cool

[Chorus]
But don't call me after 5 o'clock
Change my name in your phone
Pay cash for all our drinks
We don't need those receipts
Followin' us home
Yeah, we both got somebody we lost the fire for
That ain't no reason to treat 'em cruel
We're gonna keep on leading
Keep this secret that we're keeping
We're cheatin' by the rules

[Bridge]
If you see me out with her
Just play it cool, don't say a word
Aw, so we don't have to pretend
And this make-believe don't have to end

[Chorus]
Don't call me after 5 o'clock
Change my name in your phone
Pay cash for all our drinks
We don't need those receipts
Followin' us home
Yeah, we both got somebody we lost the fire for
That ain't no reason to treat 'em cruel
We're gonna keep on leading
Keep this secret that we're keeping
We're cheatin' by the rules
Yeah, we're gonna keep on leading
Keep this secret that we're keeping
We're cheatin' by the rules
