Not a hair out of place
She makes up her face
Then she makes up a lie
She's dressed fit to kill
And it takes all his will
Not to cry.
She don't know that he knows
And he won't let it show
As she's leavin'
Ooh, she's not really cheatin'
She's just gettin' even.

And he's going through hell
But he knows to well it's deserved
She telling all the same lies
The same alibis that she's heard
Two wrongs don't make it right
But he knows tonight she's believin'
That's she's not really cheatin'
She's just gettin even.

She's never been untrue
So this is all new
But she's catchin' on fast
Her cheatin' is fair
'Cause he's done his share
In the past
He has to understand
'Cause he's an old hand
At this even
So she's not really cheatin'
She's just gettin' even.

And he's going through hell
But he knows to well it's deserved
She telling all the same lies
The same alibis that she's heard
Two wrongs don't make it right
But he knows tonight
She's believing
That's she's not really cheatin'
She's just gettin even...
