THE OTHER WOMAN by Ray Parker, Jr.

I'm in love with the other woman

My life was fine till she blew my mind

Aw shucks

I'm just the average guy

I fooled around a little on the side

Never thought it would amount to much

Never met a girl whose love was so tough

Who'd a though a one night stand

Could turn into such a hot romance

Mmm when she did it to me

I slipped and fell in love

I'm in love with the other woman

My life was fine till she blew my mind

Now I know

The rules of the game

You hit once

Then break away clean

I should have never gone back I know

But I had to have

Just a little bit more

My friends laugh

But that's alright

I may be a fool

But I know what I like

Now I hate to have to cheat

But it feels better when I sneak

I'm in love with the other woman

My life was fine till she blew my mind

I'm in love with the other woman

My life was fine till she blew my mind

Oh this affair is unique

All my life I never met such a freak

She keeps me goin' strong for so long

When I get home it's all go

Makes me wanna grab my guitar

And play with it all night long

I'm in love with the other woman

My life was fine till she blew my mind
