To the Other Woman

My friends all ask me

If I know real you

I say yes I know my man

And all about his other woman

So to me that's nothing new

Tell me something different

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 other woman 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 what number are you

If there's any

Backstabbing being done

I'm the guilty one

She has no reason for the knife

Cause To the other woman

I'm the other woman

And other woman she's his wife

I'm gonna try and 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 degredation

And come between his obligations

To his wife and family oh no

Cause 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've

Been another woman

And the other woman

Will always be his wife

Yes she will

To the other woman

She'll be his wife

I'm the other woman

She'll be his wife
