Do you know any songs about being cheated on?

Been cheated on and would like to process my emotions through music. Any genre welcome.

One that comes to mind is 24 hours from Tulsa by Gene Pitney.

Here he is, 24 hours from home, 24 hours from embracing the love of his life.

He pulls into a motel for a bit of kip.
As he pulls in he sees a lady standing out front and walks up to her.
“Where can I get something to eat around here?”
“Come with me and I will show you” she replies.

Being courteous, Gene asks her if she would stay and keep him company while he ate.
“Sure” was her response.

Gene was enjoying not only his meal but also the company of the lady.
The jukebox started playing a song and they danced.
Before they knew it, the sun had risen while they danced the night away.
Then Gene lost his mind, he started caressing and kissing her…
“I’ll die before I let you out of my arms” he whispered in her ear.

Gene decided to write a “Dear Jane” letter to his belle back home.

“Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won’t be home anymore
cause something happened to me while I was driving home
And I’m not the same anymore.”

“I hate to do this to you
But I love somebody new
What can I do
And I can never never never go home again”

@Gusman I prefer the cover by Dusty Springfield, if only because with that version she’s the one being pursued. It somehow hits differently than the one with Pitney as the pursuer.

@bijouxbroussard I'm thinking that with Gene's version, the Lady could also be the pursuer.
She is standing out the front of the hotel, possibly waiting for potential "meal ticket"
Gene innocently asks "Where can I get something to eat around here"?
To which she replies "Come with me and I will show you."
Read into that what you will 🙂
