...has he ever written any about him being the culprit?

love

I'm not sure if Prince has ever written about being the "culprit" of cheating on somebody...

But in his song, "The Dance" he is clearly singing about being tempted by a female, and if this song is in any way based in reality, he was married at the time.... Maybe he hasn't cheated, but he is human and maybe he's been tempted to?

I suppose you've got "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" where he declines the opportunity to be the culprit, and "Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" where he keeps his pants on cos he's kind of going with someone...

I guess he's a bit of a bad boy in "Bambi", where he's begging the eponymous heroine to cheat on her girlfriend with him because "it's better with a man".

On the other side of the coin, there's "When You Were Mine", where he's the victim.

I'm sure there are plenty of better examples, but I'm just setting the ball rolling...

Let's pretend we're married.

What about Head?

In I hate u from the gold experience hes the culprit

more like he becomes the culprit. the moment he says "I want you to tie her hands behind her back"

I thought he was accusing someone of cheating. In the song doesn't he take them to court for it?
It starts out saying "you gave your body in the name of fun."

don't know of any blatant cheating mention in his songs, but he's been tempted a lot. in Lolita he sings:

"you're sweeter but you'll never make a cheater out of me"

in The Dance he's experiencing recurring temptation:

"cuz I just get u off of my mind, I try & I try but when I close my eyes, I see u every time"

eye love u but i dont trust u anymore.

seems to be a few, eh.
