Girl I know you're doing the same thing tooBut I won't tell your man the things we do, oh no'Cause he don't have to know
John Legend wrote a song about cheating on his partner? JOHN LEGEND? John Legend as in the sensitive crooner behind such hits as "All Of Me" and "You & I" John Legend?? Oh dear. Not only does Legend get all soulful about the idea of getting some strange action, but he uses the same backwards logic that so many other adulterers on this list go with in this situation: Two wrongs absolutely make a right. A hot, steamy, passionate right. There's no need to feel bad about cheating on my girlfriend, because you're also cheating on your boyfriend. It's all good! For much of this slinky little number, Legend insists that he doesn't want to hurt the one he's currently in a relationship with. He does everything he can do avoid that...aside from actually stopping the affair. He feels sorry about it, apparently, but not sorry enough to look her in the eye and tell her what a complete f*ck face he's being behind her back. And so, he's just going to keep getting it on the side. Because it feels good. And isn't that the most important thing? So go feel good, dirtbags. Go feel good.
