此首《Hell Yes I Cheated》為Lynn Anderson的前夫，也就是曾認為《Rose Garden》是一首「男人歌」，在開始時不太願意老婆錄唱的Glenn Sutton和人所合寫。首由鄉村男歌手James Pastell於1977錄唱發行，成績還不錯，打進了排行榜，獲得第95名。

Glenn Sutton( Lynn Anderson的前夫/1968─1977)

想來是由於和James Pastell同住於Louisiana的地緣關係，黑人男歌手Johnny Adams於1979翻唱此曲，並收錄在1984的專輯《Old Flame》中。同樣地，應該是想發揮他寬廣的音域，將原本為鄉村曲風的節奏放緩，改為偏節奏藍調，聽起來感覺的確不太一樣，應該也是有人會喜歡這一味。

歌曲的主題是承認自己「外遇」了。當然也要替自己找一些理由，像是雖然倆人住在一起，卻是各自為政，感覺毫無溫暖，已經不像是個「家」了，在家裡所失去的，就只能去外面找回了。婚姻感情的事，外人實在不太好論斷，合不來離就是了，台灣目前的離婚率在亞洲排名第2，僅次於中國大陸。從正面來看，能有這麼多的怨偶脫離不快樂的婚姻，也算是好事一樁。歌名第一個字的「Hell」，一般翻成中文是「地獄」，而在此處或是指那冰冰冷冷、讓他感到孤獨、痛苦不堪的「家」吧！也或許意思是：是的，我外遇該下地獄。而與中國的成語「罪該萬死」有異曲同工之妙，雖知道自己有錯，但並不真的想死或是下地獄吧！

Hell Yes I Cheated
Even though it was wrong
But she gave me something
I've been missing at home

You know I love you
But I can't pretend
Hell Yes I Cheated
And I'll Do it again

For a long time now
We've been together
But living so all alone
Living inside a house
But it's never been a home

And all I took was love from her
That we no longer share
It didn't seemed so bad
Cause i didn't know you care

Hell Yes I Cheated
Even though it was wrong
But she gave me something
I've been missing at home

You know I love you
But I can't pretend
Hell Yes I Cheated
And I'll Do it again

Hell Yes I Cheated
And I'll Do it again

Hell Yes I Cheated
(Oh i cheated)
Oooohhhhh Yeeessss
