[Verse 1]
You know he's not the one for you but that's no fault of mine
He knows that I'm a friend of yours but doesn't know I've crossed the line
I know you've got a man in the picture but it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all been in one situation or another we regret

[Chorus 1]
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me

[Verse 2]
You know I wanna keep my distance cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart and there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy but that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another, it's my turn

[Chorus 2]
To be the other man
No one sympathizes
When you're the other man
That everyone despises

[Bridge]
He's going to find out that the rumours are true
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
He'll found out, so I'll tell you because
You gotta find out before he does
I know you've got a man in the picture but it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all been in one situation or another we regret
[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
Yeah
No one sympathizes
When you're the other man
That everyone despises
Yeah
Yeah (We've all been in one situation or another)
Yeah (We've all been in one situation or another)
Yeah (We've all been in one situation or another)
