One night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
When you're alone away from home You find it's easy to stray
There's a good-lookin' guy who's just caught your eye And you wish you were single again
He asks you to dance and if by some chance He offers to buy you a drink
You say it's alright, it's just for tonight You only go out now and then
But one night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
When the heat has cooled down and the frost comes around It'll wipe out the good seeds you've sown
When you long for the chance for a bright new romance And your roses have all turned to thorns
One night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
You both sit down, he orders around You say it's just all in fun
Then he touches your hand, sees you go to wedding band And you know what he's got on his mind
Desire creeps in and then you begin To know I'm all swammin' wrong
But one night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
One night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
When the heat has cooled down and the frost comes around It'll wipe out the good seeds you've sown
When you long for the chance for a bright new romance And your roses have all turned to thorns
One night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
I said one night of cheatin' ain't worth the reapin' When there's six nights of good crop at home
