Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have always been a faithful I have always been a faithful
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
I have always been a faithful till you came along
I was just hanging out trying to clear my mind
I saw you watching me it was plane to see
Said I am a married man said you were 23
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will never be the same
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will forever change
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will never be the same
I have always been a faithful man till you came along
I have always been a faithful I have always been a faithful
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
I have always been a faithful till you came along
We were just hanging out didn’t mean a thing
But when I started walking out something came over me
Never felt so guilty never felt so good
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make do wrong
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will never be the same
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will forever change
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will never be the same
I have always been a faithful man till you came along
I have always been a faithful I have always been a faithful
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
I have always been a faithful till you came along
I have always been a faithful man till you came along
I have always been a faithful I have always been a faithful
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
I have always been a faithful till you came along
The song "Faithful Man" by The Expressions is about a man who has always been faithful in his relationships, until he meets a younger woman who seduces him into cheating on his wife. The man is initially hesitant to pursue anything with her because he knows it is wrong, but the woman convinces him to play a game and give in to temptation. Despite feeling guilty, he cannot resist her and falls into an affair with her. The song dwells on the man's struggle with his own fidelity, his overwhelming desire for the woman, and the sense of responsibility he has in his marriage.
The lyrics suggest that the man is conflicted about his infidelity. He repeats that he has "always been a faithful man till you came along," emphasizing his commitment to his wife. Despite his initial hesitation, he is lured by the woman's advances and finds it hard to resist her. He feels guilty about his actions but is simultaneously consumed by his emotions towards the woman. The lyrics also highlight the tension between the man's loyalty to his marriage vows and his desire for the woman. The woman's plea to play the game and the man's response that "things will never be the same" convey the permanence of their actions and the irreversible damage they could cause to everyone involved.

I have always been a faithful man till you came along
I have always been loyal to my partner before you entered my life
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
Please don't tempt me into being unfaithful
I was just hanging out trying to clear my mind
I was spending time alone, trying to soothe my thoughts
I saw you watching me it was plane to see
I noticed you observing me, it was incredibly obvious
Said I am a married man said you were 23
I disclosed that I was already married while you told me your age
Don’t you know let’s play the game things will never be the same
I am warning you that once we start this affair, things will never be normal again
We were just hanging out didn’t mean a thing
Our initial interactions were casual and meaningless
But when I started walking out something came over me
As I left, a sudden feeling of temptation overtook me
Never felt so guilty never felt so good
I experienced a mix of guilt and excitement like never before
I have always been a faithful man till you came along
I had never strayed from my relationship until you entered the picture
Don’t you make me do wrong don’t you make me do wrong
I am begging you not to push me into being unfaithful
