Lyrics

The Other Woman

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk with my head down

I mumble all the words

I keep my feelings to myself only

I never stand my ground

I just stand around

If you love me then why won't you hold me

Everything and everyone around me is changing

Now that i've been the other woman

Your music rides ten horses in the sky

And gallops through the evening

You, you have no side for me to stand by

In space, i see you and her

And everything and everyone around me is changing

Now that i've been the other woman

Oh now that i've been the other woman

Like a newlywed hummingbird

Building its home

Stick by stick above the river

You are green, you are red

You are yurple you are blue

You are gold you are silver

Well my eyes are made of lemons

My tears are made of limes

You love me, you hate me, i'm losing my mind

I've sailed the sea of love aboard the ship of hopes

I'm a skipper, i'm the captain, i'm the crew

And everything and everyone around me is changing

Now that i've been the other woman

Oh now that i am the other woman

I will always be the other woman

I'll never be the only woman

The only woman...
