Rebel 3,177 Posted June 11, 2014 Original lyrics by Jessie Mae Robinson, Lana changed "man" to "old man" and "when she's by his side" to "to be by her side" The other woman finds time to manicure her nails The other woman is perfect where her rival fails And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair anywhere The other woman enchants her clothes with French perfume The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room There are never toys that's scattered everywhere And when her old man comes to call He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen 'Cause to be by her side It's such a change from old routine But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep The other woman will never have his love to keep And as the years go by the other woman Will spend her life alone Alone 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wryta Thinkpiece 3,345 Posted June 11, 2014 Immaculate cover, just absolutely immaculate. Some of the best vocal showcasing tracks on UV, Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone would be in love with this track so much. And so am I. Love the slight lyrical variations, and her singing is so fucking beautiful. So. Fucking. Beautiful. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rafael 3,513 Posted June 16, 2014 this cover is so damn beautiful. even though we've gotten lots of bonus tracks to close the album with in different ways i can totally envision how and why she chose this track 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prostitutestare 142 Posted June 27, 2014 Yeeas for those pin curls. I love this song. It is becoming a favorite of mine. It is such a technically perfect track. Lana has always had good diction and phrasing, and she showcases it to its pinnacle in this song. She better be a hummingbird at the end! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,726 Posted April 19, 2015 If I said that I didn't plan For it to turn out this was, I'd be lying - Because I was born to be the other woman. I belong to no one - who belonged to everyone, Who had nothing, who wanted everything Did you guys notice that she hinted at this song back in 2012? Maybe she was already thinking about these themes back in the early paradise era days and those ideas eventually turned into "Sad Girl" and this brilliant cover 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKA Lizzy Grant 2,238 Posted April 21, 2015 Did you guys notice that she hinted at this song back in 2012? Maybe she was already thinking about these themes back in the early paradise era days and those ideas eventually turned into "Sad Girl" and this brilliant cover She tweeted the lyrics to The Other Woman a long time ago Also expressed her love for Nina Simone countless times. I think that adding the cover onto the album was an impulse decision since she said she wanted to close the album off with a jazz song also how she said when the album art was picked she changed the track listing Just my interpretation 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
