The Other Woman - Chely Wright

She picked up his jacket 
And hid her earrings in his pocket 
So he'd have a reason to call 
But her telephone won't ring 
And the shame that it will bring 
Makes her regret it all 

She should be accustomed 
She oughta know you just can't trust 'em 
When he's got a wife that he ain't gonna leave 
Maybe she deserves what she's got comin' 
She can't hide and there's no runnin' 
From the guilty, lonely life she's bound to lead 

Chorus:

'Cause she's the other woman 
You've seen her before 
Deep in his eyes 
When he walks through the door 
But did you know that even though 
She's puttin' you through hell 
You don't have to hate the other woman 
She'll do it herself 

They tried to keep it undercover 
But you would soon discover 
That she's your worse nightmare comin' true 
You don't even know her name 
But you wish her a life of pain 
And believe you me that's what she's goin' through 

Chorus 

No, you don't have to hate the other woman 
She'll do it herself
