Cheatin' Lyrics

I don't think that this song is as cut and dry as it may initially seem. At first I thought it was a song about a guy cheating on his girlfriend/wife. The more I heard it and read the lyrics, I kinda think that maybe this is about a guy who used to have a girl that he loved, but they weren't together anymore. So he hooked up with another woman and is saying that despite that, he still loves the one he used to be with. So basically he's saying "Yes I slept with someone else, but that doesn't mean I don't still love you." to his ex.
