Somebody Else's Man
She gets your footsteps in the kitchen
She gets your secrets in the bedroom at night
She gets all your poetry
All I got is my jealousy
What ugliness
Won't ever bring
You closer to me
Oh how many years have I wasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Bettin' my love
(Ooh)
On a losing hand
(Ooh)
And how many times
(Ooh)
Will I break my own heart
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Lookin for my salvation
(Ooh ooh)
In somebody else's man?
Oh yes I know
I've been petty
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Sayin she ain't pretty like
You're out of her league
(Wa-ba-ba-ooh)
But what good is my jealousy
No it won't bring you close to me
I know that I
Should really try
To just let you be
'Cuz how many years have I wasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Bettin' my love
(Ooh ooh)
On a losing hand
(Ooh)
And how many tears have I tasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
With a love that's gone wrong
(Ooh)
Now it's out of my hands
(Ooh)
And how many times
Will I break my own heart
Lookin for my salvation
(Ah ah ah)
In somebody else's man?
Ooh ooh ooh
She gets your secrets in the bedroom at night
She gets all your poetry
All I got is my jealousy
What ugliness
Won't ever bring
You closer to me
Oh how many years have I wasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Bettin' my love
(Ooh)
On a losing hand
(Ooh)
And how many times
(Ooh)
Will I break my own heart
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Lookin for my salvation
(Ooh ooh)
In somebody else's man?
Oh yes I know
I've been petty
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Sayin she ain't pretty like
You're out of her league
(Wa-ba-ba-ooh)
But what good is my jealousy
No it won't bring you close to me
I know that I
Should really try
To just let you be
'Cuz how many years have I wasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Bettin' my love
(Ooh ooh)
On a losing hand
(Ooh)
And how many tears have I tasted
(Ooh ooh ooh)
With a love that's gone wrong
(Ooh)
Now it's out of my hands
(Ooh)
And how many times
Will I break my own heart
Lookin for my salvation
(Ah ah ah)
In somebody else's man?
Ooh ooh ooh
