Story behind the song
This song is about being "the other man", and I tried to explore various feelings related to that whole situation, basically.
Lyrics
i’m not happy being the other man
coz I know at the end of the day
he’s the one you go home to
and I wish you could spend the night with me
but I don’t envy him because
I know he makes you love me more
and i’m not blind, I truly see
that if I were him, then someone else would be me
and i’m not down with that
sorry if it’s selfish
but I gotta think of where I am
because I know that at the drop of a hat
you could be gone and I could be left alone
and I love you so but I know you got
situations
with relations
and I don’t wanna be responsible
for aggravation
i’ll just play it on the low
so call me up when you’re impatient
coz that’s when I know you need me for your
satisfaction
and it satisfies me
just to make you happy
because you make me happy
but i’m not gon’ pretend
that this is never gonna end
because i’m not foolish
we’re not playin’ some school shit
this is serious
- “I’m not playin’”
i’m not happy being the other man
coz I know at the end of the day
he’s the one you go home to
and I wish you could spend the night with me
but I don’t envy him because
I know he makes you love me more
and i’m not blind, I truly see
that if I were him, then someone else would be me
(and i’m fine where I am)
bein’ the one you run to
and not the one you run from
if i’m gonna get punished in a later life for this
then i’m gonna take advantage of every moment of bliss
each kiss you give
takes me to a higher plane
where I can forget all the pain
that i’ve been through
and the pain I could be responsible for
we don’t wanna hurt no more
we all want to feel loved
is it my fault that the person I found love with
got a man
it’s not so deep a thang
trynna kid myself
I don’t mind you with someone else
but I cry myself to sleep
wonderin’ am I gonna be
here tomorrow
feelin’ all this sorrow
maybe I should just leave
but your embrace keeps me coming back so helplessly...
i’m not happy being the other man
coz I know at the end of the day
he’s the one you go home to
and I wish you could spend the night with me
but I don’t envy him because
I know he makes you love me more
and i’m not blind, I truly see
that if I were him, then someone else would be me
I like all the gifts and the smile I receive
when we arrange our rendez-vous and you first see me
it makes me feel special like I never felt before
at that moment I want absolutely nothing more
than to hold you, to kiss you, to protect you
coz I miss you
everyday you’re not with me, I feel like I can’t breathe
and I hope you miss touching me...
i’m not happy being the other man
coz I know at the end of the day
he’s the one you go home to
and I wish you could spend the night with me
but I don’t envy him because
I know he makes you love me more
and i’m not blind, I truly see
that if I were him, then someone else would be me
and i’m not happy being the other man
coz sometimes I wonder what it would be like
If I was the one that you came home to
and you could spend the night with me
but I know I should know better
because once a cheater, always a cheater
but how can I pretend that I am any better
maybe I should just let you and him be
and find somebody who loves me for me...
