Lyrics
The Other Man
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 forgive you when you can't look straight into my eye
I forgive you when you never want to hold my hand
I forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
I forgive you even though I know the secret you keep
I forgive you even though you don't give a damn
I forgive you 'cause deep inside you're part of me
But I'll never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night he's calling
And somewhere in your heart you're falling
I'll forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
I'll forgive you even though I'll never understand
I'll forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night he's calling
And somewhere in your heart you're falling
I'll forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
I'll forgive you even though I'll never understand
I'll forgive you 'cause you're all I've got and I love you
But I'll never forgive the other man
No, I'll never forgive as long as I live
No, I'll never forgive the other man
I said I'll never never never forgive
No, I'll never forgive the other man
