Nina Simone
The Other Woman (Live at Ronnie Scott’s)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
And when her old man comes to call on her
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
'Cause when she's by his side
It's such a change from old routine
[Verse 3]
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 find that she spends the rest of her life alone
