(chely wright)



She picked up his jacket

And hid her earrings in his pocket

So he'd have a reason to call

But her telephone won't ring

And the shame that it will bring

Makes her regret it all



She should be accustomed

She oughta know you just can't trust 'em

When he's got a wife that he ain't gonna leave

Maybe she deserves what she's got comin'

She can't hide and there's no runnin'

From the guilty, lonely life she's bound to lead



'cause she's the other woman

You've seen her before

Deep in his eyes

When he walks through the door

But did you know that even though

She's puttin' you through hell

You don't have to hate the other woman

She'll do it herself



They tried to keep it undercover

But you would soon discover

That she's your worse nightmare comin' true

You don't even know her name

But you wish her a life of pain

And believe you me that's what she's goin' through



'cause she's the other woman

You've seen her before

Deep in his eyes

When he walks through the door

But did you know that even though

She's puttin' you through hell

You don't have to hate the other woman

She'll do it herself



No, you don't have to hate the other woman

She'll do it herself
