Hmmm I'm pretty sure you could count 'Get Out and Stay Out' from 9 to 5 as one. "You cheated and you lied" is right in the lyrics.

And I would count 'I Know the Truth' from Aida as a good one as it's about the discovery that you are being cheated on.

In some sense "Could I Leave You?" from Follies is about cheating.

Whatever Lola wants is related to cheating as well.

I'm surprised there isn't a ready made list for this something. Infidelity certainly seems like an ideal topic for a school theatre group revue.

Seriously though, my favorite that hasn't already been mentioned is "It's Not Too Late" from Romance Romance.

Not a Broadway song but from a movie about stage performers: "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life" (ROYAL WEDDING)

"Moments in the Woods" from Into the Woods. Cheating from the cheaters perspective.

Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

Kristin Chenoweth also did a cover of "(If) You Hadn't But You Did" and it was the first thing that came to mind.

"Nobody Needs to Know" from L5Y came to mind as well as "See, I'm Smiling" from the same musical.

Also, how has nobody mentioned "Tango: Maureen" from Rent yet?!

"Fifty Percent"--BALLROOM

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

How about "Take That Look Off Your Face" from Aspects of Love? It's the cheatee being told about the cheater from a third party, right?

"Where Can You Take a Girl?" - Promises, Promises
(also, arguably, "Wanting Things" in a vague way is about cheating)

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
