Song Lyrics I Enjoy #1

I'm going to add a segment to this blog where I mention songs that have lyrics which I thoroughly enjoy. Some are funny, some are odd, and some are profound.

Today's entry is courtesy of Bob Kuban and The In-Men.

The song is The Cheater, which is a story of a player who will later learn a lesson in love. However, in the beginning of the song, he's still playing.

"Haven't you heard about the guy known as the cheater 
He'll take your girl and then he'll lie and he'll mistreat her
It seems every day now
You hear people say now
Look out for the cheater
Make way for the fool-hearted clown
Look out for the cheater
He's gonna build you up just to let you down"


I'm not sure if the song's protagonist (or antagonist, if you see fit) is really a cheater or just a player. The song is quite old, so perhaps the term "player" was rarely used in this fashion back then.
