Why Can't I Be The Other Woman Lyrics - Linda Lewis

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
