Lyrics

The o ther (Bb)wo man

finds time to man i cure her (Cm7)nails,

the o ther wo man

is per fect where her ri val fails.

And she’s nev er seen with pin curls in her hair an y where.

The o ther wo man

en chants her clothes with French per fume,

the o ther wo man

keeps (F7sus4)fresh cut flo wers in each (F6)room,

there are nev er toys

that scat tered ev ’ry where,

and

when her own man

comes to call

he’ll find her wait ing like a (Bb)lone some queen.

’Cause when she’s (C13)by

his side

it’s such a change from her old rou tine.

But

the o ther (Bb)wo man

will al ways cry her self to sleep,

the o ther wo man

will nev er have his love to (D7)keep,

and as the years go by the o ther (Cm7)wo man

will

spend

her life

a lone.

About “The Other Woman

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "The Other Woman" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Eb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "The Other Woman" by Nina Simone in?
The backing track is in Eb at 47 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "The Other Woman" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "The Other Woman"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "The Other Woman", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "The Other Woman" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "The Other Woman"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "The Other Woman"?
"The Other Woman" was originally performed by Nina Simone. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Nina Simone are available?
Other accompaniments by Nina Simone: "Ain't Got No - I Got Life", "Don't Explain", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Eb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "The Other Woman" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
