|
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 wanna keep my distance |
|
Doesn't happen anyway |
|
He knows you're gonna 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 |
|
And it's my turn |
|
To be the other man |
|
No one sympathises |
|
When you're the other man |
|
Everyone despises |
|
He's gonna find out that the rumours are true |
|
Though they are still unbeknownst to you |
|
He'll find out so I'll tell you because |
|
You gotta find out before he does |
