The Other Woman的詞曲作者是美國著名女歌手戴蘭·荷莉(Dolly Parton)。這首歌的完整歌詞如下:
(Verse 1)
You don't know what it's like,
When you're on the outside looking in,
You don't know what it's like,
To want something so bad,
And never have it,
Chorus:
But now you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman,
The other woman,
When all you've given me,
Is disappointment and pain,
But you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman.
(Verse 2)
I never meant to hurt you,
But when love is hurting,
You don't know how to let go,
But you keep hanging on,
And hoping it will change,
But it never does,
Chorus:
But now you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman,
The other woman,
When all you've given me,
Is disappointment and pain,
But you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman.
(Bridge)
I know I can be wrong,
But in this situation,
It doesn't make sense,
It seems you want the best of both worlds,
When what you're offering me,
Is second best.
Chorus:
But now you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman,
The other woman,
And everytime I see you looking at me like that,
It hurts like hell to know you blame me for your pain.
But you keep looking at me like that.
(Outro)
So now you're looking at me,
As if I'm the other woman.
The other woman.
