The Other Woman

"The Other Woman" is the fifth song on Caro Emerald's debut album, "Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor".

Description

 * "A torchy advice column she weaves, from the darkest corner of a bar to where the lovelorn wait their turn, and the charlatan she adores continues adding to the endless conquests... Will the victim heed the advice and move on to her line up of suitors? Too bad nobody loves a bad boy than a good girl. Don't you, ladies?"

Lyrics
Little girl, just keep on waiting For that man to give you a life You keep on hoping, so this Prince can save you Keep on dreaming his scandalous lie

For your love is he the hero Does he know that you begging him please Where angels dare, the devils fill that need In your despair does he get up to leave

At the start of his goodbye Do you ever realize That you never get the chance All you get is alibis When smoke begins to fade And you're standing face to face Does he kiss you in a way to say You're the other woman The other woman

Wear that dress, the one you rely on Slit up high, that shows off your wares And when he's arriving, give him that invitation Keep on wishin' almost all of him cares

For your love he is your hero, yes Even though you are beggin him please, please Woman unscared, your risks are never ending And don't you pretend you don't live what you breathe

At the start of his goodbye Do you ever realize That you never get the chance All you get is alibis When smoke begins to fade And you're standing face to face Does he kiss you in a way to say You're the other woman The other woman

You'll always be the other woman

Baby, trust me I've been there before You don't know him I know him more

At the start of his goodbye Do you ever realize That you never get the chance All you get is alibis When smoke begins to fade And you're standing face to face Does he kiss you in a way to say You're the other woman The other woman
