The Other Man

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

Every moment that she holds me tight

I know just where i stand

As i am 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

As i am the other man

As i am the other man

As i am the other man

As i am the other man
