Another Man (12" Vocal)

Do you remember when I said
"She's got the papers, and I've got the man"
But man that she had that I took from her
Is not the man child that we thought he was at all

Caught in the middle, I don't know what to do
What can you do when your man is untrue
There's another man (oh, baby)
In my life (my life, in my life)

He looked very normal 'til I opened my eyes
The man I loved and married loves another guy
There's another man (another man) in my life
(Oh, in my life)
Oh, ah

Another man is beatin' my time ('nother man is beatin' my time)
Another man is lovin' mine (lovin' mine)
Another man is beatin' my time ('nother man)
Another man is lovin' mine ('nother man is lovin' mine)

Another man is beatin' my time (I'm going crazy)
Another man is lovin' mine (cra-a-zy, crazy, crazy)
Another man is beatin' my time (oh, crazy)
Another man is lovin' mine

You know you and I were together
I was so in love with you
But there was a little bit too much sugar
And you were little too sweet
(There was a little bit too much sugar)
(And you were too sweet)

I think I wanna stay, but I don't know if I can
Lovin' like I do and sharin' with the man
There's another man ('nother man)
In my life (in my life, in my life)

Oh, think I want to leave
But I can't swallow my pride
My midnight lover loves another guy
There's another man (another man) in my life (in my life)
Oh ah

Another man is beatin' my time ('nother man is beatin' my time)
Another man is lovin' mine (no, no, no, no)
Another man is beatin' my time ('nother man is beatin' my time, ooh)
Another man is lovin' mine ('nother man is lovin' mine)

Ooh, woah, is beatin' my time
Another man is lovin' mine
Another man is beatin' my time
Another man is lovin' mine

You know (you know)
I started to notice (I started to notice)
A definite strangeness
There was no sameness
He was changing

I had gone out one day and bought me a very, very sexy dress
And opened up my closet and it had disappeared
Lord, I hope the man is not wearing my
Ooh, child

And I also pick up other little things
Like when we were makin' love the other night
I thought he was calling out my name
But it evidently it was not my name

And I passed him on the steps one day
And he was switchin' more than I was (uh-huh-huh)
And I even caught him holding hands
Walking right down market street
Y'all know what market street is

He was so desirable
It's gonna be such a waste
You know when you think everything is in place
And what you think you have is not what you really have at all
Because in my case what I thought I had was not a entire whole man
But a facsimile gent, oh (um-um)
Wasn't the clothing or nothin', you know, I'm not

And there was a certain kind of a way that he talked to me
His voice went up
You know, at first he was talking like, "Yeah, baby"
And then he went, "Hello"
And, and it kept going up and down

And there must have been, I figured, a defect
Of not when he was created
But somewhere down the line
Somethin' went wrong

Another man is beatin' my time
Another man is lovin' mine
Another man is beatin' my time
Another man is lovin' mine

Oh, woah, another man is beatin' my time ('nother man is beatin' my time)
Another man is lovin' mine (lovin' mine)
Another man was beatin' my time ('nother man)
Another man was lovin' mine (oh, another man)

Another man was beatin' my time ('nother man)
Another man was lovin' mine (it blew my mind)
Another man is
