The Other Man

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

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

You know I want to keep my distance
'Cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're going to 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

To be the other man
No one sympathizes
When you're the other man
That everyone despises

He's gonna find out that the rumors are true
Though they are still unknowns to you
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
You got to 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

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

Yeah, no one sympathizes
When you're the other man
That everyone despises
Yeah
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
