To the Other Woman (I'm the Other Woman)

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 there'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, she 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

Tell me, tell me what number are you?

If there's any backstabbin' being done

Oh, I'm the guilty one

She has no reason for the knife

'Cause to the other woman

I'm the other woman

And the other woman, she's his wife

I'm gonna try and keep this man

In every, every way I can

'Cause he means the world to me

I won't be his degradation

Between his obligations

To his wife and family

But 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 be another woman

And the other woman

Will always be his wife

To him I'll just be another woman

And the other woman

Will always be his wife

Yes, she will
