Why Can't I Be The Other Woman

You promised of thee
A faithful man to me
And love constantly
But after all these years, you want to 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

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

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?

Yeah, you gave me jewels and furs
And you said I was your only one
But your daddy was a wanderer
And your your oil on boiling sun
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Let's not make promises we can't keep
There 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
