Oh, yeah I'm in love (I'm in love) With the other woman My life was fine (Life was fine) Till she blew my mind, oh, shucks I'm just the average guy I fooled around a little on the side Never thought it would amount to much Never met a girl whose love was so tough Who'd have though a one night stand Could turn into such a hot romance Mmm, well she did it to me I slipped and fell in love I'm in love (I'm in love) With the other woman My life was fine (Life was fine), yes, it was Till she blew my mind, mmm I know the rules of the game You hit once, then break away clean I should have never gone back, I know But I had to have just a little bit more My friends laugh, but that's alright I may be a fool, but I know what I like Now I hate to have to cheat But it feels better when I sneak, oh I'm in love (I'm in love) With the other woman My life was fine (Life was fine), yes, it was Till she blew my mind, somebody help me I'm in love (I'm in love), oh With the other woman (With the other woman), hey, hey My life was fine (Life was fine), yes, it was Till she blew my mind, mmm, hmm, whoa, oh Oh, this affair is unique All my life I never met such a freak She keeps going strong for so long When I get home it's all gone Makes me want to grab my guitar And play with it all night long Oh I'm in love (I'm in love) With the other woman My life was fine (Life was fine), yes, it was Till she blew my mind, mmm, tell me Has anybody else out there Ever fell in love (Fell in love) With the other woman (With the other woman), oh With the other woman (With the other woman), oh Said I'm in love (I'm in love) With the other woman With the other woman (I'm in love), ooh With the other woman (With the other woman) I'm in love (I'm in love) Sho' ‘nuff in love
