Why Can't I Be The Other Woman

(Linda Lewis)



You promised of thee

A faithful man to me

And love constantly

But after all these years, you wanna be

With a prettier, wittier, younger lady



And you said you'll be my kin

Through thick and through thin

And together do everything

But lately you felt weaker then

And you never in 'cause you went out with her

Running about with her



[Chorus:]

Why can't I be the other woman?

Why can't I be the other woman in your life?

Tell me why

Why can't I be the other woman?

Why can't I be the other woman in your life?

Tell me why

Can't I be the other woman in your life?



And I've made my vows to you, too

Yes, I've broken quite a few

Didn't say that I have been true

But I was oh so lonely and so blue

I was a fool to do the same to you



[Chorus]



Yeah, you gave me jewels and furs

And you said I was your only one

But your daddy was a wanderer

And your oil on boiling sun

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh



Let's not make promises we can't keep

They're only words and words can be weak

Let's start over like we used to be

Make me your fantasy

The other woman in your life

And you can treat that girl

Treat her like a wife



Why can't I be the other woman?

Why can't I be the other woman in your life?

Tell me why

Can't I be the other woman in your life?



(Why can't I be the other woman?)

Why..

(Why can't I be the other woman in your life?)

Why... can't I be the other woman?

Why can't I be the other woman?

Why can't I be the other woman in your life?

Tell me why
