Gino Vannelli - The Other Man lyrics

An urgent call in the dead of night A voice that whispers "now" A voice that trembles like a winter leaf Before it hits the ground She leaves a crack in the bedroom door To slip the wire through Her husband sleeping in a empty bed No witness to the truth It's a oneway conversation I try to tell her no But it's a hopeless situation I just can't let her go And here she is another desperate night In the arms of the other man Another day in a double life Every moment that she holds me tight I know just where i stand As i am the other man She leaves my room like a criminal To beat the morning light Rehearsing ever little alibi To get it water tight There's a note on the dresser top It's the same old cla**ic line She says she's leaving him It's just a question of time It's a no win situation 'cause i just can't let her go And here she is another desperate night In the arms of the other man Another day in a double life Every moment that she holds me tight I know just where i stand As i am the other man As i am the other man As i am the other man As i am the other man
