Music is My Mistress (aka Cheatin’)
This song chronicles Chico’s struggles to form lasting relationships with women. The only man to attempt to have sex with his own music, he finds it difficult to balance his duel desires. Each of Chico’s three wives divorced him within two years, claiming he refused to give them the full attention they deserved. Rebecca’s impassioned vocals speak to the mistrust, jealousy and resentment that inevitably come from attempting to please two loves at once.

Lyrics:
YOU WERE WITH HER LAST NIGHT IN THE LOCAL BAR
THE NIGHT BEFORE SHE WAS IN YOUR CAR
HER VOICE LIKE HONEY, IT TOOK YOU IN
YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE COMMITTIN’ A SIN
HEY BABY YOUR CHEATIN AGAIN
GUESS YOUR JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER MEN
I SAY YOU DO IT TO STROKE YOUR EGO
YOU SAY YOUR DOIN IT FOR YOUR OWN SOUL
CHORUS
HEY BABY YOUR CHEATIN AGAIN
HEY BABY YOUR CHEATIN AGAIN
HEY BABY YOUR CHEATIN AGAIN
I GUESS YOUR JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER MEN
BRIDGE:
SHE’S FROM THE COUNTRY, SHE’S PART AFRICAN
SHE’S FROM THE DELTA PART JAMAICAN
SHE’S FROM ALL OVER, BUT LIVES IN CLEVELAND
HEY BABY, YOUR CHEATIN’ AGAIN
CHORUS
SAY YOUR READY TO PLAY THE “G”
WHICH WOULD YOU HAVE IT BE?
YOU SAY THE CHORD, I THINK THE SPOT
DON’T WANT TO FIGHT, I’LL SLEEP ON THE COT
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
SHE’S FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
SHE NOT JUST YOUR AVERAGE GIRL
SHE’S FROM NY, DETROIT, BOSTON
SEATTLE, LA, MEMPHIS, AUSTIN…..
CHORUS
REPEAT
OUT
