the other woman

the other woman - nina simone
The other woman finds time to manicure her nails,

The other woman is perfect where her rival fails.

And shes never seen with pin curls in her hair - anywhere.
The other woman enchants her clothes with French perfume.

The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room.

There are never toys scattered anywhere...

And when her old man comes to call,

Hell find her waiting like a lonesome queen.

cause when shes by his side

its such a change from her old routine.

But...
The other woman will always cry herself to sleep.

The other woman will never have his love to keep.

And, as years go by...
The other woman will spend her real life alone.
