Should you sing it?
With Cheatin’ by the Rules, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has a clearly recurring hook and fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
