本曲大意
歌者说这名女子欺骗了他的感情，他说她有一天一定会因此后悔并感到痛苦。的确，人与人相处真诚最可贵，存心欺骗别人的人，伤害别人，终究会伤害到自己。
英文歌词
Your cheatin heart will make you weep. Youll cry and cry and try to sleep, but sleep wont come the whole night through. Your cheatin heart will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain, youll toss around and call my name. Youll walk the floor the way I do. Your cheatin heart will tell on you.
Your cheatin heart will pine someday, and crave the love you threw away. The time will come when youll be blue. Your cheatin heart will tell on you.
歌词翻译
你欺骗的心会使你哭泣。你哭了又哭并想法子入睡，但你整夜都睡不着。你欺骗的心有天会泄露你的底细。
当泪如雨下，你会辗转反侧并呼唤我的名字，你会像我一样在地板上踱来踱去。你欺骗的心有一天会泄露你的底细。
总有一天你会为了我们的爱感到痛苦而消瘦，并渴望重新拾回这份被你拋弃的爱。这个时刻就要来临了，那时你会悲伤。你欺骗的心有一天会泄露你的底细。
