(C. Murphy/Sloan)
|
|
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
|
