My friends all ask me If I know the real news I say yes and no my mate And all about his other woman So to me that's nothing new They say please don't get offended We're only trying to help you So I won't mess up my life To the other woman I'm the other woman The other woman is his wife Everybody calls me stupid For playing second fiddle At least I know I'm number two But all you so-called friends With years of mostly single men Ha! What number are you? If there's any backstabb being done I'm the guilty one She has no reason for the knife To the other woman I'm the other woman The other woman is his wife I wanna try to keep this man In every way I can Cause he means the world to me I won't be his deputation Come between his obligations To his wife and family But one day the door will close I won't see him anymore Like the old folks say: that's life I've just have been that woman To the other woman The other woman is his wife Yes she will I've just have been that woman To the other woman The other woman is his wife
