It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home

There's no use in pretending, there'll be a happy ending
Where our love's concerned, sweetheart, we both know
We'll take love where we find it, love and try to hide it
It's all we got, for we know they're not gonna let us go

It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home

It's a cheating situation when there's no love at home
