To the Other Woman Songtext
von Jeannie C. Riley

My friends all ask me if I know the real you
I say "Yes, I know my man and all about his other woman"
So to me that′s nothing new
They say "Please don't get offended"
They′re only trying to help me
So I won't mess up my life

But they don't know to the other woman
I′m the other woman
And 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 your supposedly single men
What number are you?
If there's any backstabbing being done
I′m the guilty one


She has no reason for the night
'Cause to the other woman
I′m the other woman
And the other woman she's his wife

I′m gonna try to keep this man
In every way I can
'Cause he means the world to me
But I won't be his degradation
And come between his obligations
To his wife and family
′Cause one day the door will close
I won′t see him anymore

But like the old folks say "That's life"
To him I′ll just have been another woman
And the other woman will always be his wife

Yes, she will
To the other woman
I'm the other woman
And the other woman is his wife
