Alone in her room she awaits his arrival
Forseeing him walking through the door
She dreams of the man she once knew as her lover
And wonders, is he still like before
Or maybe he has changed
Maybe he has rearranged his life
For she was just his lover
The other girl's his wife
Pacing the floor now, she moves to the window
She's looking, but he is not in sight
Remembering the times when they held to each other
She trembles, will he hold her tonight
Oh maybe he won't show
And maybe he don't know he is her life
For she was just his lover
The other girl's his wife
The other girl don't know what he has done to her
And if she found out she couldn't live
The other girl don't know what he has took from her
While she's give all she had to give
Pushing her face further down in the pillow
It's too late, tonight is not the night
Wiping away what she swears is the last tear
She curses, not even a goodbye
Oh maybe it's the best
'Cause maybe for the rest of her life
She would be his lover
The other girl's his wife
