lyrics

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you ill
You'll cry and cry
And try to fill
That great big hole
inside of you
Your greedy heart
Will tell on you

When your fears come out
Like drowning rain
You’ll have a choice
To face the shame
To make things right
To pay what's due
Your greedy heart
Will tell on you

(James Baldwin)

Your cheatin heart
Will pine someday
And crave the part
you used to play
You'll cry out loud
Assign the blame
Entitlement will do you in

When your fears come out
Like drowning rain
You’ll have a choice
To face the shame
To make things right
To pay what's due
Your greedy heart
Will tell on you
Your cheatin’ heart
Will tell on you
