YOU'RE CHEATIN' YOURSELF (IF YOU'RE CHEATIN' ON ME)
(Al Hoffman / Dick Manning)

as recorded by Frank Sinatra
with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
May 20th 1957 Los Angeles


They say you're runnin' around
When I'm out o' town,
Never get home till after three;
You're cheatin' yourself if you're cheatin' on me!

If what they're sayin' is true,
It's time that you knew
There's many more fishes in the sea;
You're cheatin' yourself if you're cheatin' on me!

I can't believe that you're flirtin',
But if you're flirtin',
Baby I'm remindin' you,
Whatever's good for the goose is good for the gander too!

If you will take my advice,
You're gonna think twice,
You won't find a love as true as mine.
Oh, open your eyes and you will see
You're only cheatin' yourself if you're cheatin' on me!

I can't believe that you're flirtin',
But if you're flirtin',
Baby I'm remindin' you,
Whatever's good for the goose is good for the gander too!

And if you will take my advice,
You're gonna think twice,
You won't find a love as true as mine.
Oh, open your eyes and I'm sure you will see
You're only cheatin' yourself if you're cheatin' on me!
