Another Man

Do you remember when I said She's got the papers and I've got the man? But the man that she had, that I took from her Is not the manchild that we thought he was at all Caught in the middle I don't know what to do What can you do when your man is untrue? There's another man, oh baby In my life (in my life) He looked very normal till I opened my eyes The man I loved and married loves another guy There's another man (another man) in my life Oh in my life Another man is beating my time (another man is beating my time) Another man is lovin' mine (another man is lovin' mine) Another man is beating my time (another man) Another man is lovin' mine (another man is lovin' mine) (Another man is beating my time) I'm going crazy (Another man is lovin' mine) Crazy (Another man is beating my time) Going crazy (Another man is lovin' mine) You know you and I were together I was so in love with you But there was a little bit Too much sugar and you were a little too sweet But there was a little bit Too much sugar and you were too sweet I think I wanna stay but I don't know if I can Loving like I do and sharing with the man There's another man (another man) In my life (in my life) Oh I think I want to leave But I can't swallow my pride My midnight lover loves another guy There's another man (another man) in my life In my life Another man is beating my time (another man is beating my time) Another man is lovin' mine (another man is lovin' mine) Another man is beating my time (another man is beating my time) Another man is lovin' mine (another man is lovin' mine) (Another man is beating my time) (Another man is lovin' mine) (Another man is beating my time) (Another man is lovin' mine) You know I started to notice A definite strangeness There was no sameness He was changing I had gone out one day and bought me A very, very sexy dress And opened up my closet and it had disappeared Lord I hope the man is not wearing my Ooh child And I also picked up other little things Like when we were making love the other night I thought he was calling out my name But it evidently it was not my name And I passed him on the steps one day And he was switching more than I was And I even caught them holding hands Walking right down Market Street Y'alll know what Market Street is He was so desirable And this gonna be such a waste You know when you think everything is in place And what you think you have is not what you really have at all Because in my case what I thought I had Was not an entire whole man But a facsimile there of Weren't the clothing or nothin', you know, I'm not... There was a certain kind of a way that he talked to me His voice went up You know, at first he was talking like, "Yeah baby" And then he went vibrato And, and it kept going up and down And then there must have been, I figured, a defect Of not when he was created But somewhere down the line Something went wrong (Another man is beating my time) (Another man is lovin' mine) (Another man is beating my time) (Another man is lovin' mine) Another man is beating my time (another man is beating my time) Another man is lovin' mine (another man is lovin' mine) Another man was beating my time (another man was beating my time) Another man was lovin' mine (another man was lovin' mine) Another man was beating my time (another man was beating my time) Another man was lovin' mine (another man was lovin' mine)
