Featured in the opening sequence of the tv show, Queen Sugar, this song’s dramatic tone foreshadowed the fraught relationship of characters Nova and Calvin. Sonically, “Faithful” fits in well with the desolate intensity of Bitter, Ndegeocello’s third album.

[Verse 1]
My daddy made no excuse
I believe my lies are truth
Why won't you eat what you're fed
'Cause when I touch myself I think of only you
And when I touch someone else
[Refrain]
No one is faithful
I am weak, I'll go astray
Forgive me for my ways
No one is faithful
No one is faithful
I am weak
[Verse 2]
I hear voices and I can't stand to be alone
'Cause emptiness is all I've ever known
Soiled by my lust I feel no shame
No longer forsaken when they call my name
Beautiful angels come to my bed
I am satisfied on their flesh I've fed
[Refrain]
No one is faithful
I am weak, I'll go astray
Forgive me for my ways
No one is faithful
No one is faithful
I am weak
Forgive me for my ways
No one is faithful
No one is faithful
[Instrumental Outro]
