JEFF BUCKLEY - The Other Woman lyrics

rate me

(J.M.Robinson)

Originally performed by Nina Simone. Jeff often performed it live.

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails

The other woman is perfect where her rival fails

And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair

The other woman enchants her clothes with french perfume

The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room

There are never toys that's scattered everywhere

And when her baby comes to call

He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen

Cause when she's by his side

It's such a change from old routine

But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep

The other woman will never have his love to keep

And as the years go by the other woman

Will spend her life alone
