To The Other Woman

My friends all ask me
If I know the real you
And I say, "Yes, I know my man
And all about the other woman"
So to me, there's nothing new
(Tell me something different)

They say, "Please, don't get offended
They're only trying to help me
So I don't mess up my life"
But they don't know
To the other woman, I'm the other woman
And the other woman is his wife

Everybody calls me stupid
For playing second fiddle
At least I know I'm number two
And all you so-called friends
With your supposed single men
Tell me, what number are you?

If there's any backstabbing being done
I'm the guilty one
She has no reason for the knife
They don't know
To the other woman, I'm the other woman
And the other woman is his wife

I'm gonna try to keep this man
In every way that I can
'Cause he means the world to me
Yes, he does
But I won't be his degradation
And come between his obligation
To his wife and family, oh, no

'Cause one day the door will close
And I won't see him anymore
But like Swamp Dog says (That's life)
To him, I'll just be another woman
And the other woman will always be his wife
Yes, she will, ooh
To the other woman, I'm the other woman
Yeah, she'll be his wife

Yeah, but you're another woman too
Let's go, Swamp Dog
You know, you said you were coming on Tuesday
That Thursday ain't right
You know, you just keep listening to your girlfriend
They don't have anybody
And they're never gonna be happy until you don't have anybody
Which you're working on real hard
Real hard
Well, number two will have to take a backseat
But I don't wanna
