Unfaithful lyrics tell the tale of a woman who is living with a man in a relationship and having an affair on the side. On Rihanna’s second album, A Girl Like Me, the Unfaithful lyrics talk about how the protagonist becomes aware that her lover knows of the affair and is hurt by it every time she walks out the door.
The Unfaithful lyrics were written by Tor Erik Hermansen, Ne-Yo and Mikkel S. Eriksen. The song is one of regret, awareness, remorse and wanting to make things right and though a huge worldwide success, the song has cost Rihanna some of her fans who have over-identified with her as the “bad guy” on this song.
Unfaithful Lyrics
[Intro:]
Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
because it seems that wrong,
really loves my company
[Verse 1:]
He’s more than a man
And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
The clouds are rollin’ in
Because I’m gone again
And to him I just can’t be true
[Refrain:]
And I know that he knows I’m unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dyin’
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don’t wanna hurt him anymore
I don’t wanna take away his life
I don’t wanna be…a murderer
[Verse 2:]
I feel it in the air
As I’m doin’ my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I’m gonna be out late
I say I won’t be long
Just hangin’ with the girls
A lie I didn’t have to tell
Because we both know
Where I’m about to go
And we know it very well
[Refrain:]
‘Cause I know that he knows I’m unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dyin’
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don’t wanna hurt him anymore
I don’t wanna take away his life
I don’t wanna be…a murderer
[Bridge:]
Our love … his trust
I might as well take a gun
And put it to his head
Get it over with
I don’t wanna do this…anymore
woaoaoao…anymore
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna be the reason why
And everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don’t wanna hurt him anymore
I don’t wanna take away his life
I don’t wanna be…a murderer
…a murderer
No no no no
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
