What is in the same category of songs written masterfully that come close to :

“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

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

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.

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

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