“Saving all my love for you” - Whitney Houston “Save the best for last” - Vanessa Williams

These are masterpieces singing about being the side piece in the classiest way. Any others?

The total opposite of having a side piece is pining for someone else’s chick. “Jessie’s girl” would fit in the opposite category

In my opinion, this is the greatest song about being a side piece:

Doris Duke - To the Other Woman (I'm the Other Woman)

Slightly different, Thunder Rolls or Papa Loved Momma, both by Garth Brooks. Songs about what happens when you get caught

I think you’re right. That song is kinda icky, or that’s how I’ve always felt about it

Wasn't Don't Cha by Pussycat Dolls about being a side chick?

Well then you need to listen to this song. It’s 100% about being the other woman.

Agreed. Heard it the other day and it kinda hit me how gross it is. I'd hate to be Jessie or his girl with someone like the song's persona in such close proximity.
