Anthony David - Cheating Man Lyrics






Honey I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

When I was a young boy
I used to watch my daddy play
And in my heart I'd always say
That he was wrong
He had to be crazy
Knocked stone cold out outta his mind -
To be leaving my pretty mama all alone

She'd always sit patient and waiting then
Cussing and crying
And who would have to be there to comfort her?
And I would have to look my mama
Right square in her eyes
And I'd swear that I'd never hurt no woman like that

Baby I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Now that I'm older
I found it's time to settle down
'Cause I need some love around
To make me whole
But things are funny
'Cause things I swore that I'd never do
I find myself falling a victim to
Losing total control

Oh yeah 'cause, recently I ran into
Someone who reminds me of you and
Even though I know that kinda thing ain't right
I find myself caught up in lies
Tryna swim against the tide
And as the stage gets set for drama
I can't stop thinking about my mama

I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Honey I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Yes I am

Yes I am

Oh

    Good song.

  16. H.... S....

    I listen to this song & it makes me see things even more clear, that you don't hurt the one's who give you there heart unconditionally. especially the one who still holds your heart in her hand, because the pain of not having her around is a endless pain of regret, & misery....4.life..butterfly..

  17. v.... s....

    You make great music for the soul

  18. T.... H....

    wish I had heard the song years ago..wow

    T.... H....

    Tomeka Hayes would it have made you look at the cheater differently?

    T.... H....

    +tinker2217 yes it would have. Wouldn't have changed the outcome but it would've given me better understanding to the situation. Understanding came before hearing this song but it came with excess pain

    T.... H....

    Tomeka Hayes I understand.... Thanks for responding

  19. d.... ....

    Don't be no "Cheating Man". Chances are you can not belt out a soulful deeply resonating ballad like Anthony David to make up for it. Just step away from the cheating please.

  20. P.... M....

    i have lived a rough life not knowing who i am and not knowing wha road to take in life so unfortinatly i am a cheating man and i have been fighting with this deamon all my life because truely i dont understand y so i thank you anthony the fist time i saw you live in that small little club in jacksonville florida and i sat right in front of you and you sang this song and all i did was break down and cry i was able to think but still my thoughts are all fucked up but i will never stop listening to you your  music helps me even though i am still a fucked up cheating man

    P.... M....

    Paul Marshall wow... do you think you could ever be with one person?

    P.... M....

    yes i wrote that a year ago and i am now married and very happy

  21. S.... R....

    yeah! i like

  22. b.... ....

    This is the first time I heard this one.. it almost made me cry, the truth is really powerful.. why are people not gravitating to this type of music anymore? I almost forgot what good music sounded like..

  23. D.... M....

    If a cheating man was ever gonna share who he is and why he does what he does with his partner, this is the way to do it :-) Thanks Anthony!

  24. K.... S....

    I have been surrounded by cheatin men in my family for all of my life..    They just seem to love women all women... It is truly a double edged sword, They too are good men but they are cheatin men..... I loooooove this song.. Courageous and Relative.... 

  25. W.... R....

    love the song, love Anthony David... a fantastic voice... but seriously.. those having a hard enough time keeping it faithful... just flip to the b-side... 4evermore :/ - If you can listen to that song and STILL not give a shit about your other half then im afraid this music is wasted and youre better off listening to Cher or Justin Bieber and taking it from me that the person you are with is simply not the one!

  26. A.... D....

    wow, thanks folks. Didn't even know this was here. I like the discussion.

  27. J.... S....

    Speaking as the DAUGHTER of a cheating man, sometimes this type of man has the adverse affect on a daughter. I ain't never been able to commit to no man. Im not trying to hurt no one...but I am my fathers daughter.

    J.... S....

    I understand your sentiments completely...

    J.... S....

    Jae Shep profound statement. Your father's cheating ways must make it hard to trust any man. If only father's realized how their behavior impacts their daughters' lives.

  28. A.... ....

    A good man & a cheating man don't go in the same sentence! This song gets A+ for artistry but he concept is BS. Insinuating that cheating is a generational curse is garbage, a shameless sympathy-play. Cheating & loyalty are choices in its PUREST form. Plenty of men despise their fathers for cheating & driven to faithfulness because of it! Now. Model that! You cheat from your own self-deficiencies and no one elses.

    A.... ....

    Not a fair assessment, but your opinion is your and respected.

  29. A.... L....

    I know your pain... its my story as well

  30. K.... N....

    This song is so sad. I'm in tears. Goodness.

  31. r.... g....

    This song has become the scars of my soul. My God.. how it hits all the feelings and regrets I have done. So this message is for those who are still true; For your soul and those you truly love, DO NOT STRAY. YOU CANNOT, I REPEAT CANNOT LIVE TWO LIVES. Do not compromise your loving soul for no one or you will feel this song as well. Those who share this knows this is a weight on your heart that weighs heavier everyday. This is a song for the cursed who seek redemption as I do.

  32. S.... H....

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I'm always on top of great artists but where thec heck have I been to be just now hearing him

  33. M.... P....

    this gives me chills and makes me feel like crying, it's so freaking deep and strong

  34. T.... E....

    These lyrics...

  35. M.... ....

    Choice. One has choices in life. Whether to be a man/woman of integrity, loyalty, and honor or not is a choice. You can only blame genetics, upbringing, past history for so long. There's more than a backbone that separates one from apes...choice(s), redemption, character....Such qualities are not profitable in the entertainment world nor in the majority of observable mankind....but they are still valued and sought. You're noticed and valued those of you who are loyal, trustworthy, honorable.

  36. I.... S....

    yea you would be u have to realize wat u do before and after you do it.

  37. L.... S....

    this track touches my soul.....gets better every time i listen!! can tell that he writes for india :)

  38. R.... S....

    (this is Lyrical) I want to see him live... i got my husband hooked to him...not really sure where i found him but i love this kind of music.....i played my cd OUT..

  39. S.... ....

    Tell me ppl. Just tell me wat the fuk is the point of fukin cheatin? Yu know wat, scratch that. Tell me just plz tell me. Wat's the point of telling someone that truely love that yu love them bak, but then cheat on them? What's the point of saying those words if yu really don't fukin mean it and cheat also? WTF! Well then if yur point of doing this is hurting them, then I only have so say this. Congradu-fukin-lations for hurting someone that love yur ass and oh look yu really them bad.

  40. P.... ....

    wow this song describes my life

  41. R.... M....

    @jessicarenew1 i wanted to do that too, because it sounds JUST like my ex also.

  42. i.... ....

    " He had to be crazy, knock stone cold out of hs mind". i thought i was the only person in the world that loved this song. This song is not an ode 2 all cheaters. This song is a warning to all the women that may fall for guys like this particular gentlemen.

  43. B.... O....

    This song is soo beautiful, and what he's saying is sooo deep. I just feel when i hear this. I love this song now!

  44. t.... a....

    @riskyesf That was soooooo real what you said....you continue to be real and I hope you can one day stop being a cheating man. I can say that you are real. Man that hit home for me, that's exactly what my soon to be ex was...a good man, but a cheating man. Wow...you got me sitting here tripping sir.

  45. M.... ....

    This is GREAT! Love his voice smfh just sexy.

  46. l.... ....

    im a sixteenyear old white boy and when i heard this i felt the same way .

  47. T.... R....

  48. T.... R....

    thanks for such a beautiful song...not cool with cheatin man...but then again art imitates life...I am a fan

  49. m.... ....

    i guess.....................sounds sad.

  50. y.... ....

    @Douala08 He was "good" enough, he just wasn't "strong enough, wise enough, and didn't believe enough".

  51. K.... A....

    i love this tune it is very moving

  52. T.... ....

    This is cool like that. very honest lyrics!!

  53. A.... L....

    @Douala08
    I've always been the type to face my trials. I've also been the type to stand my own merits good or bad. Nothing has changed. I want better and I want more. I miss my ex, but I will not wilt and die because of it. And yes it is theraputic. Thanx for the acknowledgement

  54. A.... L....

    @gomikago more men than you know

  55. A.... L....

    more men than you know

  56. y.... ....

    @bettyboopbbw Yes, I think Sir David should be given credit for his courage to hang in there with music that challenges you to think and feel and react. He is a brilliant writer and has teamed with India Arie to write some very inspiring music. Both have fought hard to be sincere in an industry that has very little respect for "Respect"!
    Thanks Sir Anthony David. Yes, in a different world and time you would probably be knighted for your efforts!

  57. y.... ....

    @bettyboopbbw I like that you made that analogy to children often falling victim to their parents faults. I had not looked at it that way. It makes me look at this song in a different light, because it infuriated me at first. Sometimes I just get tired of excuses for weakness. I need to hear more confessions of strength, I guess. Maybe confessions of strength are good for the soul and inspires and makes strong!

  58. A.... L....

    I can't say how many men feel this way, but I can tell you all that I did cheat. Once in all my relationships. I lost it all, my wife, my children, my family, and damn near lost my mind... nothing but the grace of god kept me from the brink. I've had to let her go and God is good because he's brought an angel into my life, she has me in the palm of her hand. I know I'm a good man and I will cheat never more.
    Thanx Mr. David

  59. L.... W....

    It's an amazing song...i close my eyes and i enjoy his voice...

  60. b.... ....

    Damn, this song cuts close to home. Lawd knows how my daddy rolled (and how HIS daddy rolled...). And yeah I'm a girl, but I was raised by my daddy and I learned the game back during the some of his his rowdiest ho'ing years.

    So if I've slipped, then I'm sorry. Yes I am.....

  61. Y.... ....

    The reason why I am a commitment phobic
    After finding out the man I thought was an angel sent was only another easily tempted person to the devils knocking at his door.
    Life sadly teaches us and evantually makes some of us bitter to love, pushing continuously people out of our life, not trusting anyone even if deep down we might know this person that again caught our attention might be for ounce a GOOD MAN ...
    Learning to trust men after a great deception is a Hard Process !!

  62. S.... H....

    @gomikago ... good music does just that baby!! paints the picture & draws you into that world and released every emotion thought of... smiles, tears, anger, love, fear and back to lust!!!!!

  63. S.... H....

    @RAHMYULIS ... good music does just that baby!! paints the picture & draws you into that world and released every emotion thought of... smiles, tears, anger, love, fear and back to lust!!!!!

  64. F.... W....

    u Bad (as in good)...I love your voice! ur FB friend!

  65. y.... ....

    I am sorry for him. He sounds like such a loser. So he's honest, it doesn't mean he's good. Everyone has to take responsibility and do the "right" thing. He had a wonderful example with his own parents. And he had a wonderful woman who scares me with the crazy love she professed to the world for this man. Yeah, he's sorry alright.

  66. A.... P....

    this almost made me cry, it's so raw and strong

  67. a.... ....

    This song touches home for me.. when my father cheated on my mom... I felt her pain and heart break cried with her.. and I promised I'd never cheat on the one I love..so far I have never cheated.. I hope I never do.

  68. J.... M....

    sounds like someone that I know

  69. S.... ....

    I love this song.....the sound....the voice!!! The lyric is hurting every women.....who is in love with such kind of man.....

  70. A.... L....

    love this. this is what makes anthony a sick sick SICK soul artist. xx

  71. g.... ....

    Wow I wonder how many men "honestly" feel like this.

  72. I.... ....

    I love his voice.........it makes me realize just how singing is such a gift.

  73. M.... v....

    This is so very real, comes from his heart!!! You can feel it... I can feel it, the song fits me, it's very regonizable...
