Question
I am trying to find the lyrics to the song, "I`m the other woman in your husbands life" I do not recall who sang it. I have forgotten most of the words,
Thanks

Answer
Hello Carol,

That's the 1963 Loretta Lynn song, "The Other Woman".

I'd like to introduce myself
I'm the other woman the other woman in your husband's life
The whole town's buzzin' bout us and our stolen moments
They're callin' you the true and faithful wife
But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you

(Instrumental Break)

Now everybody's blaming me I'm the other woman
But who are they to judge who's wrong or right
Their whispers might be different if they knew what I know
The husband still beats you home ever night
But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you


Glad to be of help. Cheers......Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
