I know exactly what he likes

So you can't drive him wild like I can

Sweetheart, you're probably nice enough

But you're the girlfriend

And he's my man

People say I can't let go

But they don't see the whole story

I've got my hooks in him too

And that's why he comes back to me

I don't mean to play the bitch here

But in a way he's mine

And that's a fact

And he won't tell you the truth

About what will happen when he comes back

What we have isn't perfect

Sometimes we forget romance

But for me it's always been worth it

Oh, I know the touch of his hands

I don't want to ruin what you have

I just want to prove to him he's mine

And he'll go back to good ol' N'Awlins

But it'll be me that's on his mind

I don't mean to be cruel

But maybe I'm not

Sweetheart, you'll never know the truth

That you're simply the other woman

And I'm the babe he comes home to
