there's a girl i see sometimes 
and she's breaking my heart
there's things i need to tell her 
but i don't know where to start
i got her name, i got her number, 
cause she told me yesterday
but i don't think she wants to hear the 
things i want to say

the other woman is the one i want to hold
and now i know how the young men feel
cause i'm too shy to be so bold
when i can hardly believe it's real

she was my boyfriend's best friend's girlfriend
he said he wants to love her too
and you know i'm getting kind of tired
of the kind of things that boyfriends do
and then i saw her at a party the other night
she was all alone
and i was thinking that she'd think i was crazy
if i asked to take her home

the other woman is the one i want to hold
and now i know how the young men feel
cause i'm too shy to be so bold
when i can hardly believe it's real

how do you tell another woman that a woman like her needs a woman like you
how do you keep from going crazy when you don't know what to do

the other woman is the one i want to hold
and now i know how the young men feel
cause i'm too shy to be so bold
when i can hardly believe it's real
[repeat chorus etc]
