Jon Phonics - The Other Guy lyrics
[Hook] I'mma show you what its like to be the other guy What its like being either side of all the lies Ayo they mess with your mind, you thinking life is all sweet You never realize you're inside all the lies and deceit [Verse 1] I met miss about a month ago, drinking alone At some club uptown flicking through pics on her phone I'm probably like the tenth guy that's tried to step to this dame And most likely the tenth that's shot down like enemy planes So I admire from a distance saying nothing cos I'm shook and sober But by the fifth Corona pimp persona's taking over Introduced my self, convo even got a smile my way I ain't a player but son was getting the time of day Hit it off straight away; one drink became two became four Before we knew it last orders were called Flash forward to a cab ride where its hot and heavy But shots of Henny messed my memory rest is very sketchy Next morning she's supping OJ from a carton in some undergarment Eying her curves this girls bangin' in the back department Honestly I'm ga**ed, miss thing is where its at Thinking its too good to be true and so there's gotta be a catch Is there some fella that she's dating? some current situation? She turned away and said if she's honest its complicated Said she's engaged to some high flyer raking in dough Obsessed with his job and the spark fizzled out ages ago And seeing that he'll never slow and put the work on the shelf She'll the town with his money and have fun by herself That was a month ago since then we've had no problem with that It's our little arrangement guess we've got each other on tap The other guy [Verse 2] Can't believe that I bagged her once the dating was done I put the time in and trust me I had chased her for months Recently she been amusing that she's getting ignored But I'm just working hard and making sure our future's secure I'm closing contracts in Japan at like six in the morn And it's k**ing me cause some nights, I don't get in at all Was leaving meals going cold and she was stressin' it Not picking up her calls or collecting all her answerphone messages She swear that I'm obsessed with it now The paperwork seminars, all the meetings and the trips out of town Though recently she's chilled a bit and she's give me some space Took some hobbies up and spending much more time with her mates Sometimes she stop out, her and mates; bottle and wine gla** Ringing me up tipsy says she's too drunk to drive back Least I know her whereabouts, got work time to air it out Although its weird I see her less even though we share a house I'm grateful that she's b**hin' less and quit all the stress Getting on better plus she's even got a spring in her step Figured it's just one of those stages of relationships You know the push pull, fuss and fight, wrong and right, you make it fit I let her do her own thing and she's running around But yo she's faithful so I've got nothing to worry about So with my work and my woman all in sync yo I got it right I've got real love so I feel sorry for them other guys [Hook] It's the other guys, think it's all sweet? Two sides to every story
