Lyrics
He parks his shiny car
Behind a dirty back street bar
slips that golden ring off his hand
Calls home to ease her mind
With a well rehearsed line
She plays the fool who always understands .
Hide and go cheat
Its an age old game
With a slightly different name
Slipping through the shadows
He ought to be ashamed
He’s a master of deceit
So cleverly discreet
As he sneaks off to play
Hide and go cheat
She hangs up the phone
Puts her favorite red dress on
then paints her eyes a shade of neon blue
She knows it ain’t right
but she won’t be alone tonight
'cause to play this game
She knows it takes two
Hide and go cheat
Its an age old game
With a slightly different name
Slipping through the shadows
well she ought to be ashamed
She’s a master of deceit
So cleverly discreet
As she sneaks off to play
Hide and go cheat
They pretend to be strangers
Through that smokey haze
After all it’s just a role
they both play
Hide and go cheat
Is an age old game
With a slightly different name
Slipping through the shadows
they ought to be ashamed
they're masters of deceit
So cleverly discreet
As they sneaks off to play
Hide and go cheat
Yeah
As they slip on off to play
Hide and go cheat
