  • Need name of song & performer please

    I heard this song from the 60s on the radio back in 1985. I didn't get to hear the name of the singer or the name of the song,but I think it may have been by Lou Christie or Brian Hyland. I remember the female chorus saying something like this:

    'And the cheater gets high,the cheater gets low now
    The woman wants me 'cause I love her so now
    Oh baby don't fight 'cause all tonight
    belongs to me!'

    I think thats how it went.

    If anyone knows the name of the singer & song,please reply. I've been wondering about it for the past 30 years.

    Thanks.

    The words are off a lot, but it's probably this:

    That's it! Although it wasn't the Grass Roots version I remember hearing. Thank you for solving a 30 year old mystery.

    Again Thanks.

    Then it's probably this one by the Forum, released in '66 but saw a
    re-release in 1967 around the same time as their album. https://youtu.be/mYyp5bIw3rE

    Kudos to Bruce for figuring out this was the song, with little to go on
    but the far-off lyrics.
