The Soul Children - "I'll Be The Other Woman"

“I’ll Be The Other Woman” is a truly beautiful but sad song. The Soul Children were one of those southern soul groups that successfully crossed over into R&B. J. Blackfoot (Taxi and other songs) was the lead male singer and they had many hits such as Hearsay, The Sweeter He Is, I’ll Understand, Don’t Take My Kindness for Weakness, Love Makes It Right, and so much more. They were an awesome group and made beautiful music. “I’ll Be The Other Woman” is about the girl messing around with the married guy. She knows she’s not first in his life and doesn't seem to mind that he's married, as long as he doesn’t mess around with anyone else. Well, there’s a problem with that picture but I’ll save that for another day! I absolutely adore this song - here are ALL of the words.

I'll be the other woman
All your life
Just as long as I am the only one
Other than your wife
Your wife, how would she feel
If she caught us together
The same way I would feel
If I caught you with another

Home I know comes first
And second to that I'll be
When you're not there with her
I want you right here with me

Chorus
I'll be the other woman
Just as long as I know
I'm the only other woman
You make love to

I'll be the other woman
But I've got to know
I'm the only other woman
You make love to

The neighbors are whispering
Saying you don't care
If you cheat on your wife for me
You'll cheat on me for someone else

I'll be your part-time love
But that's as far as I'll go
To be your part-time fool
Would be stooping a little too low

Loving a married man
This I really don't mind
But a married Casanova
Is a little out of my line

Chorus

I'll open doors for you baby
Long as I know
I'm the only other woman
You make love to

I'll be your part-time love
I've got to know
I'm the only other woman

You make love to

I love The Soul Children - enjoy!
