The Other Man Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

An urgent call in the dead of night 

A voice that whispers "Now" 

A voice that trembles like a winter leaf 

Before it hits the ground 

She leaves a crack in the bedroom door 

To slip the wire through 

Her husband sleeping in a empty bed 

No witness to the truth 

It's a oneway conversation 

I try to tell her no 

But it's a hopeless situation 

I just can't let her go 

And here she is another desperate night 

In the arms of the other man 

Another day in a double life 

Every moment that she holds me tight 

I know just where I stand 

As I am the other man 

She leaves my room like a criminal 

To beat the morning light 

Rehearsing ever little alibi 

To get it water tight 

There's a note on the dresser top 

It's the same old classic line 

She says she's leaving him 

It's just a question of time 

It's a no win situation 

'Cause I just can't let her go 

And here she is another desperate night 

In the arms of the other man 

Another day in a double life 

Every moment that she holds me tight 

I know just where I stand 

As I am the other man [Repeat: x4]
