Lyric
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet her
Down at Ernie’s Bar?
Did she smile your way, twirl her hair and say how cute your dimples are?
Did she use that line “Your place or mine?” while you danced with her real slow?
Tell me cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?Liar, liar did you buy her whiskey all night long?
Did you hide your ring in the pocket of your jeans or did you just keep it on?
When the deed was done and you had your fun did you think I wouldn’t know?
Tell me cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?Now I’m not one to judge someone that I ain’t never met
But to lay your hands on a married man is bout as low as a gal can get
Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?Loser, loser hope you love her cuz your stuck with her now
Take your sorry butt, load up all your stuff, and get the hell out of my house
But I just wish you’d tell me this one thing before you go
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?Now I’m not one to judge someone that I ain’t never met
But to lay your hands on a married man is bout as low as a gal can get
Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?Yeah I just wish you’d tell me this one thing before you go
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that low down, up town, slept with every guy around, pressed on eyelash, no good, white trash ho?
