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.
