Pet Shop Boys, "So Hard" and possibly "Jealousy."

Robyn's "Be Mine!", although it's unclear if he was with that other girl during or after.

"24 Hours From Tulsa," although you could argue it's a country song.

you should also include folk ballads from the British Isles in your "not" list cuz there are thousands of 'em.

Greatest infidelity song ever = Dark End Of The Street. Original version, and for me the best though there are loads of terrific readings, is by James Carr. Also Me & Mrs Jones by Billy Paul.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 24 February 2006 13:38 (twenty years ago)

"Dark End Of The Street" = not really that far from being a country song however

All of the Only Ones' songs that weren't about heroin

― Rotatey Diskers With Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 24 February 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

But, let's face it, isn't this one of the most popular of subject matters in ALL popular music? Ten millions folk songs to thread, for instance.

Squeeze - Tempted
Billy Bragg - Man in the Iron Mask

About half of the awesome Keyshia Cole album.

Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones" is a classic, of course, and not very bluesy for an r&b song. And, in that vein and musical space, any version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" or "Who Is He And What Is He To You?"

Morphine -- "Thursday"

Joni Mitchell -- "Coyote" (he's got a woman at home and another woman down the hall)

Fleetwood Mac -- pretty much all of Rumors, but certainly "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman" and "The Chain".

Del Amitri -- "Downfall" (maybe a little countryish)

Jefferson Airplane or David Crosby -- "Triad" (sort of a special case)

The Grass Roots' "Midnight Confession" is about unrequited infidelity, I guess. Also Frank Sinatra's "I'm Walking Behind You".
