Wandering Eye-Born Ruffians

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart? Is it cheating if you call me your man? I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye, And pretending not to know you're there. I imagine the sound of your voice I imagine the smell of your skin I imagine me with you, the way that he is And wonder how it would have been In the morning the tears on my pillow Will dry in the sun in my room And they'll go off to heaven, but I'll stay down here Far from you as the Earth and the moon Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart? Is it cheating if you call me your man? I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye, And pretending not to know you care. Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes Making promises and keeping a few I try to call, I try to write But that one single night was the one night I could have had you Come dance beside me Grab your partner and I'll grab mine Hold him close in your sweet arms And think of me darling tonight With this ring on my finger I was promised away With this ring I was chained to a cell So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays So I sing through this singular hell. Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart? Is it cheating if you call me your man? I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye, And pretending not to know you're there. Yeah I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye, And pretending not to know you care.
