An urgent call in the dead of night
|
A voice that whispers "Now"
|
A voice that trembles like a winter leaf
|
Before it hits the ground
|
|
She leaves a crack in the bedroom door
|
To slip the wire through
|
Her husband sleeping in a empty bed
|
No witness to the truth
|
|
It's a oneway conversation
|
I try to tell her no
|
But it's a hopeless situation
|
I just can't let her go
|
|
And here she is another desperate night
|
In the arms of the other man
|
Another day in a double life
|
And every moment that she holds me tight
|
I know just where I stand All I am is the other man
|
|
She leaves my room like a criminal
|
To beat the morning light
|
Rehearsing ever little alibi
|
To get it water tight
|
|
There's a note on the dresser top
|
It's the same old classic line
|
She says she's leaving him
|
It's just a question of time
|
|
It's a no win situation
|
'Cause I just can't let her go
|
And here she is another desperate night
|
In the arms of the other man
|
|
Another day in a double life
|
Every moment that she holds me tight
|
I know just where I stand
|
All I am is the other man
|
All I am is the other man
|
All I am is the other man
|
All I am is the other man
|

THE OTHER MAN
