I saw Diane just the other day
And she asked me where I thought you were
I just lied and said I didn't know
You think this game's not hurting her

This cold arrangement is not what it appears
It keeps alive cruel fantasies
You lead her on and she waits another day
Giving more than she receives
She cries at night and it's no mystery
You need to make right

She needs to know that you've been cheating
Running around behind the scenes
She needs to know you think you are leaving
So stop leaving an in between
She needs to know

Seems that it was yesterday
That promises were being made
Now today it seems you've turned your back
On all the good you ever had

This veiled estrangement is more than she had feared
Concealed behind your lying eyes
Your trigger finger keeps her heart on edge
And makes her doubt your alibis
She cries at night and it's no mystery
That's not how it should be

She needs to know that you've been cheating
Running around behind the scenes
She needs to know you think you are leaving
So stop leaving an in between
She needs to know
