THE OTHER WOMAN
(Betty Sue Perry)


Loretta Lynn - 1963




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
