Lyrics
I was talking to a woman
The other day
And she said she'd been married
For 20 long years
I said
Please
Can you tell me
How did you do it?
How did you stay married
For all of those years?
Then she said
Young man
Don't let her want for nothing
Gotta give that woman
All that she needs
She said
Young man
Always be sweet
But there's one more thing
(But there's one more thing)
It's kinda deep
You got to cheat
You got to cheat
She said I hate to tell ya
But you asked me
How did I stay married
For 20 long years
You got to cheat
That's just how it is
Ooh, Lord
I didn't wanna hear that, y'all
Didn't wanna understand
Cause I got married
To be a faithful man
Now what is this woman saying
She got to be wrong
Why would I chance a breakup
Of a happy home?
She said
Young man
When you need love
And now she's always tired
What you gon' do?
What you gon' do?
Then she said
Young man
When you're no longer
All she desire
(All she desire)
What you gon' do?
What you gon' do?
She said
You got to cheat
You got to cheat
She said I hate to tell ya
But you asked me
How did I stay married
For 20 long years
You got to cheat
That's just how it is
Well, I never will forget
That woman
For the rest of my life
So I hurried on home
So I can tell my wife
After I told her
She just couldn't believe
She said
That's the same thing
An old married man
Just said to me
You got to cheat
You got to cheat
Said
I hate to tell ya
But you asked me
How did I stay married
20 long years
You got to cheat
That's just how it is
You got to cheat
You got to cheat
Well I hate to tell ya
But you asked me
How did I stay married
20 long years
You got to cheat
That's how it is
You got to cheat
You got to cheat
Well I had to tell ya
Cause you asked me
