Album: Nina Simone at Town Hall

The other woman has time to manicure her nails,
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails
And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair - anywhere

The other woman enchants her clothes with French perfume
The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
Many clever toys that's scattered everywhere

And when her old man comes to call,
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
'cause when she's by his side
it's such a change from her old routine

But

The other woman will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never have his love to keep
And, as years go by
The other woman will spend her real life alone
