Cheat the Night is an extended play by country pop singer Deborah Allen. Released in 1983 via RCA Records, the album includes the singles "Baby I Lied," "I've Been Wrong Before," and "I Hurt for You." Although this has never been on CD, four of its six tracks (the singles and "Cheat the Night") appeared on her later Anthology compilation. It has since been added to streaming services.
Michael McCall of AllMusic writes, "An EP features her two best-known hits of the 1980s, "Baby I Lied" and "I've Been Wrong Before." It's sweeter and softer-edged than her '90s work." [1]
All tracks are written by Deborah Allen and Rafe Van Hoy, unless otherwise noted.
