I cheat on you, you cheat on me

I was doing some cleaning and  listening to German music, humming along and singing when I knew the words. I found one particular song particularly catchy and kept playing it. I could only understand a few words here and there but I eventually learned the sound of the words enough to sing the chorus (although I didn't know what I was singing).

I was still bopping around the apartment, singing "Ich geh dir fremd, ich geh dir fremd, du gehst mir fremd, du gehst mir fremd," when Mario came home from work.

He started to give me a hello kiss, then heard what I was singing and stopped in his tracks.

"Ehhmm...Do you know what that means?" he asked.

"Nope, I just like the song," I replied.

"It means, 'I cheat on you, you cheat on me.'"

Oh.
