NO OTHER MAN
(Richard Mainegra / Ida Mesler)
Billy Jo Spears - 1976
I'm leavin' these words on my pillow today
When you come back home I'll be far away
The children are stayin' with the neighbour next door
This feelin' I've felt, I can't hide anymore
Oh, I know what you're thinkin'
Please try to understand
I know what people say, but there's no other way
And I swear there's no other man
I've given myself till I'm empty inside
And each precious memory I'll save till I die
Tell the children I love them, then when I'm through
I'll come back home even if it's with you
Oh, I know what you're thinkin'
Please try to understand
I know what people say, but there's no other way
And I swear there's no other man
I know what people say, but there's no other way
And I swear there's no other man
