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
