You know he's not the one for you
But that's no fault of mine
He knows that I'm a friend of yours
But doesn't know I've crossed the line
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all been in one situation or another
We regret

Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me

You know I wanna keep my distance
'Cause it's happenin?anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart
And there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy
But that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another
And it's my turn

To be the other man
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises

He's gonna find out that [bad word] are [bad word] 
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
You gotta find out before he does
