THE OTHER MAN — текст песни (sloan)

(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
`Cause it`s happenin?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
