The Other Woman


The Other Woman - Nina Simone

f a# C D f . . . f a# C D C a# g g
The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
a# C a# C C . . . a# C C a# C f f
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails
g a a# g g . . . a# C a# . . . C D f g d# f
And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair

f a# C D D . . . f a# C D D D D D
The other woman enchantes her clothes with french perfume
a# C a# C C . . . D D# D C a# a g f
The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
g a a# g g g f# a g a# a D
There are never toys thats scattered everywhere

D C D F D# D C a#
And when her man comes to call
a# C D F F D# D D D D
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
a# a# a# A A# . . . C D
'Cause when she's by his side
g a a# D C C a# a a# C
It's such a change from old routine

F . . . F F D# D# D . . . f a# a# a# a# a# g D
But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
g a# a# C D . . . C C a# a g f f f
The other woman will never have his love to keep
g g a a# g d . . . a a# a a# g
And as the years go by the other woman
a a# . . . D# g f a g a# a C a# D C D# D F D# G F A . . . g f . . . f C a#
Will spend her life alone
