(this is a cover of the original song by 60s jazz legend, Nina Simone).


the other woman
has time to manicure her nails
the other woman
is perfect where her rival fails
and she's never seen with pin curls
in her hair anywhere

the other woman
enchants her clothes with French perfume
the other woman
keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
and there are never toys that's scattered everywhere

and when her old man comes to call
he finds her waiting like a lonesome queen
'cause to be by her side
it's such a change from old routine

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

the other woman
will always cry herself to sleep
the other woman
will never have his love to keep
and as the years go by, the other woman
will spend her life alone
alone...
