I Should Cheat On You peaked at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #48 on Billboard’s R&B chart in 1998.
It was supposed to be the lead single from J'Son’s follow-up album, but for unknown reasons, it was never released.
[Verse 1:]
You keep saying
I’m creeping
And I keep explaining for no reason
Cause I’m not cheating
But I’m thinking
Since I go through
What’s the difference if I do, babe?
[Chorus:]
What can I say?
(What can I say?)
You don’t believe me anyway
(Anyway)
I should just cheat on you
(On you)
What (what)
Can I do? (can I do?)
Girl, you keep accusing me
(Oh, you)
I should just cheat on you
(You)
[Verse 2:]
You keep saying you love me
But save it, baby
You don’t trust me
Caught you checking my pager
If I was cheating
I would have erased it
(Tell me, babe, why?)
Must everywhere you go be on the down low?
If you wasn't creeping
Tell me why
If I told you
You’d say it was untrue
I keep denying
Sick of trying
Maybe I should lie to you
[Repeat Chorus x2:]
I should just
I should just cheat on you
I should just
I should just cheat on you
I should just
I should just cheat on you
What you gon’, gon’, gon’ do?
[Bridge x2:]
Please, please, please
How you gonna play me?
Now you gonna make me cheat, cheat, cheat
Got me going crazy
I thought I was your baby
[Repeat Chorus x2:]
Please, please, please
Cheat, cheat, cheat
Got me going crazy
I thought I was your baby
What can I say?
