'Heart Of Gold'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I'm trying to assemble a list of Infedelity songs. This is for a joke gift for my sister. Here's my list so far: Me & Mrs. Jones; Lying Eyes-Eagles; If Loving You is Wrong, I don't want to be right; Ruby, Don't Take your Love to Town-Kenny Rogers; Torn Between 2 Lovers; Woman, have you got cheating on your mind-Gary Puckett; 3rd Rate Romance, Low Rent Rendevous; I've got our picture, she's got you; Do you love him like I love him-Reba McEntyre; Delilah-Tom Jones; Piña Colada Song; Runaround Sue-Dion; and some song with the line "Are you sleeping with her, too" whose name I don't know. and an REO Speedwagon song that I can't remember that starts with "Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend, you've been messing around.
Can anyone think of any more? I feel like I'm missing some obvious ones.
Have you heard Kristin Hersh's "Three Nights Drunk"? It's an old Appalachian folk song and it's pretty funny.

Dan Penn, Chips Moman and Spooner Oldham got together in the mid sixties and decided to write the ultimate cheating song, and they came pretty close with "Dark End of the Street."
James Carr did the definitive version, I think.
Also "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" would work. Lots of country songs. "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" etc. "7 Year Itch" by Roseanne Cash.

David, I have Ruby, but thanks for the other suggestions. I wondered about "Dark End of the Street", but couldn't remember if it was about cheating or not. And you can always count on Country!
megan, I totally forgot about "Joe lies"!
Perkins, more good ones!
and an REO Speedwagon song that I can't remember that starts with "Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend, you've been messing around.
"Take It on the Run"
