The Other Woman (LYRICS)
My friends all ask me
If I know the real you
I say, yes, I know my man
And all about the other woman
So, to me, there's nothing new
(Tell me something different)
They say, please, don't get offended
Only trying to help me
So I don't mess up my life
But they don't know
To the other woman
I'm the other woman
And other woman is his wife
Everybody calls me stupid
For playing second fiddle
At least I know I'm number two
But all you so-called friends
With your supposed single men
Tell me, what number are you
If there's any
Backstabbing being done
I'm the guilty one
She has no reason for the knife
But they don't know
To the other woman
I'm the other woman
And other woman, is his wife
I'm gonna try and keep this man
Every way that I can
Cause he means the world to me
I won’t be his degradation
come between his obligations
to his wife and family
Cause one day the door will close
I won't see him anymore
But like Swamp Gogg says
“That’s life”
To him, Ill just've
Been another woman
And the other woman
Will always be his wife
Yes, she will
To the other woman
I'm the other woman...
She’ll be his wife
Hailed by Pitchfork as “one of pop’s great cult acts,” Swamp Dogg has spent the better part of the last 70 years pushing the boundaries of soul, funk, and R&B, rebelling against the confining racial and commercial politics of the music industry with more than two dozen critically acclaimed albums ranging from the radically subversive to the downright absurd.
With his remarkable new collection, Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St., Swamp Dogg adds yet another chapter to his endlessly surprising career, celebrating the sounds he grew up on in 1940s Virginia while at the same time shining a spotlight on bluegrass music’s deep African American roots. Produced by Ryan Olson and recorded with an all-star band including Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Chris Scruggs, Billy Contreras, and Kenny Vaughan, the collection is a riotous blend of past and present, one that filers the sacred and profane through a progressive Appalachian lens that nods to tradition without ever being bound by it. Special guests like Margo Price, Vernon Reid, Jenny Lewis, Justin Vernon, and The Cactus Blossoms all add to the excitement, but it’s ultimately the 81-year-old Swamp Dogg’s delivery-sly and playful and full of genuine joy and ache-that steals the show. The result is a record that’s as reverent as it is raunchy, a work that challenges conventional notions of genre and race as it combines lust and heartbreak, pain and ecstasy, revolution and ridiculousness the way only Swamp Dogg can.
