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

Its a oneway conversation
I try to tell her no
But its a hopeless situation
I just cant 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

Theres a note on the dresser top
Its the same old classic line
She says shes leaving him
Its just a question of time

Its a no win situation
cause I just cant 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
As I am the other man
As I am the other man
As I am the other man
