Del Rey, Lana - The Other Woman Lyrics






The other woman
Has 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 finds 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
Alone

Del Rey, Lana The Other Woman Comments
  1. W.... B....

    Nice video xxx,,xxxx

  2. D.... N....

    Nina Simone’s Live In New York, 1964 from the “Let It All Out” album is an excellent version of this Jessie Mae Robinson gem. Her phrasing, piano playing, scatting, improv, it all comes together. You can find it on yt

  3. H.... K....

    How does this still not have a million views

  4. A.... M....

    Lana now needs to cover “Lilac Wine”

  5. g.... ....

    she has such an ethereal soul

  6. r.... 0....

    This song of hers and all, sounds so much like a 50s radio song <3

  7. D.... B....

    This song should be Don Drappers anthem...

  8. V.... ....

    I am in a relationship with a married man and I am having a down time about it right now, thought i wouldn't mind about fun and games but it is horrible when you actually fall in love

    V.... ....

    we will always fall asleep alone

  9. I.... ....

    Just found out the guy i was talking to cheated on someone with me , so this is my anthem now

  10. W.... 7....

    Love on 5

  11. L.... ....

    Marília Mendonça - Amante não tem lar

  12. M.... E....

    I love the transition: you begin by feeling jealous of the other women and by the end you feel her pain.

    M.... E....

    Oh my godddd, i have the same feeling

  13. 5.... ....

    Someday I'll make a video to this song: The camera shows all the Other Woman's things that the song describes without ever seeing the woman's face. "And when her old man comes to call" it is reveiled that the Other Woman is a actually a transexual (man -> woman).

  14. L.... A....

    I'm the other woman
    I'm making myself cold and alone
    But despite my pain, I do not know how to stop.

  15. N.... ....

    #teamlonesomequeen

  16. p.... ....

    what a masterpiece

  17. o.... ....

    after reading the lyrics n shit i realized how sad this song is but still beautiful

  18. T.... M....

    I’ll never let myself be the other woman....I’m just the lonesome queen 👑

  19. f.... ....

    I literally cannot listen to this song without tearing up, every. single. time.

  20. r.... ....

    Love the 1:32 melisma she does <3<3<3

  21. L.... L....

    Só vim por conta de um Meme heheheh

    L.... L....

    Eu tbm hahah

    L.... L....

    Kkkkkkkkk também ljljlklkll

    L.... L....

    sim meo KKKK

  22. m.... a....

    you prefer her

  23. C.... B....

    I will ALWAYS cry listening to this masterpiece

    C.... B....

    love the lana/peep crossover community

  24. M.... S....

    “thE oThEr wOmaN iS mY LEasT FavORiTE oN uLtraVioLence” this is literally a masterpiece but alright

    M.... S....

    THIS IS THE MOST TRUE UNPOPULAR OPINION I'VE EVER SEEN

  25. C.... N....

    The way her voice changes is astounding when she says that final Al-oonnee then alters her pitch gets me every time

  26. C.... N....

    Feel like I'm dancing in the 50's

  27. C.... N....

    Nina would be so proud of this cover, no one could have covered it like Lana did as she is one of a kind and is the most unique style of music which draws so many people to her music.

  28. z.... s....

    such a sad story with such a mesmerizing voice. What a great cover and the end when she does the runs and the aloneeee I’m actually getting chills

    z.... s....

    Yes when she says ALOOOOOOOONE 💔

  29. M.... e....

    Fuck , she nailed a Nina Simone cover , not everyone can do it ... 👐👐

  30. S.... ....

    I know that Nina Simone is a legend and I probably wouldn't have listened to more of her work if it wasn't for Lana... but Lana's cover sounds so damn _sad_ -- especially the way she sings the last word, "Alone"!

  31. M.... O....

    the guitar at 0:29 is what keeps me living

  32. T.... S....

    Terrible

  33. l.... i....

    ai que delícia to viciada

  34. B.... M....

    [Verse 1]
    The other woman
    Has 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

    [Verse 2]
    The other woman
    Enchants her clothes with French perfume
    The other woman
    Keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
    And there are never toys that's scattered everywhere

    [Bridge]
    And when her old man comes to call
    He finds her waiting like a lonesome queen
    'Cause to be by her side
    It's such a change from old routine

    [Interlude]
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    [Verse 3]
    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

    [Outro]
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Baby, do, do
    Ah, ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, oh
    Oh, oh
    Alone

  35. B.... M....

    [Verse 1]

    Alone

  36. G.... E....

    She Stunning

  37. A.... P....

    She sounds like she would be in a Disney movie

    A.... P....

    She sang a cover of Once Upon A Dream which was in a Disney film Malificent

    A.... P....

    this song should be on Mad Men

  38. M.... M....

    i know this is sad and is a beautiful work of art, but i dont think the people in the comments section should be glamorizing the other woman with statements like "its not her fault", or "wife's problem, not hers"

    like seriously though if you were listening to the side of the wife it'd be sad as well, and imo more harsh (with a family life and having to deal with her husband cheating)

  39. E.... C....

  40. C.... N....

    _Her soul is from the 50's_

  41. l.... l....

    I like Nina Simone's version better...............

  42. A.... J....

    april 2018 and still love this song

  43. D.... D....

    essa musica é um tiro na alma, nunca fiquei tão triste ouvindo lana del rey como nessa musica

  44. I.... M....

    horrible version.

    I.... M....

    I M A A N. .M U S I C I never called in for a pitty bet. I only said how Lana could have been better then you're version. Like you have one.

    I.... M....

    winky winky.

    I.... M....

    What the fuck is wrong with your ears

    I.... M....

    you’re entitled to your own opinion but you’re wrong lmao

  45. W.... t....

    This song hits me hard every time

  46. J.... A....

    women always suffer in every ways...

  47. �.... D....

    2:07-2:20 🌹💜

  48. P.... L....

    Good try but to over produced should of kept it simple like the inspirational Nina Simone , lost a lot of its emotional content by being so polished

    P.... L....

    Bryan Sturgeon What about Jeff Buckley's cover instead?

  49. H.... M....

    A wonderfull voice and also the text !!!

  50. R.... H....

    I just listened through her entire discography for the first time, this is my favourite song of hers <3

  51. J.... R....

    Love how Lana changed the lyrics from "man" to "old man" to keep up the daddy issues aesthetic

    J.... R....

    Joseph Rowland why are daddy issues suddenly an aesthetic?

    J.... R....

    Not really daddy issues but she did state before shes into older men so the changed lyric fits her taste

    J.... R....

    Lucia Galeano anything can turn into aesthetics if you are authentic enough to make sense to your true self through intertextuality

    J.... R....

    @Lucia Galeano Because tumblr

    J.... R....

    Nina's version also says "old man"

  52. c.... ....

    what an underrated song lasdjkasdhsklzdk

  53. j.... i....

    hino perdido do honeymoon

  54. M.... G....

    Here after Coachella

  55. M.... A....

    the thing that's so beis how timeless this song is. it was true when Nina sang it, it's true now.

  56. R.... L....

    "The other woman will always cry herself to sleep
    the other woman will never have his love to keep."
    I have never been the other woman but damn that part just makes me so sad.

    R.... L....

    being this type of woman is sad. i'm going through that right now :(

    R.... L....

    I’m in those same shoes right now.. but I’m a guy.. I guess I’m the other man.. it’s so tough. :(

    R.... L....

    It is excruciatingly crushing :(

    R.... L....

    And her voice makes it × 100 griefier

    R.... L....

    I'm in that situation right now, it's very depressing

  57. a.... ....

    This makes me cry

  58. L.... b....

    This takes me back to a different time

  59. J.... ....

    Listen to The Other Woman Cover by Scarlett Dreams #np on #SoundCloud
    https://soundcloud.com/scarlett-dreams-68578497/the-other-woman-cover

  60. S.... ....

    Also if you relate to this song, or any of her songs during your life time. You are a ho.

    S.... ....

    says a woman who got cheated on... it's your problem, not the other woman's.

    S.... ....

    CE Mc are you an "other woman"? sorry but im pretty sure we should also pity the wife who is supposed to be the only one the guy loves

    plus it's just being a total jerk/asshole saying its someone else's fault if you were the cause (by being an "other woman")

    S.... ....

    well fuck

  61. e.... ....

    is this what heaven sounds like

    e.... ....

    No Jeff Buckley's version is...

    e.... ....

    hi, have you ever heard of an opinion?

    e.... ....

    Yes, i said my opinion :)

    e.... ....

    Jeff didn't bring much emotion like Lana did. @Daisy Cobweb

  62. S.... ....

    This song isn't sad. If you are going to be a side ho, you know what you are getting into.

    S.... ....

    Yeah.. I listen to this song when I even consider it. It makes me sad because I'm really in love with that guy but this song reminds me how in the end i'll end up being more miserable than you would have been just giving up on him.

    S.... ....

    Exactly. I have zero sympathy for cheaters (coming from someone who's been the "main" woman & betrayed).

    S.... ....

    +luis choque The ironic thing is that it's not Nina Simone's either. People keep saying that, which is terribly irritating. Nina Simone's version is also a cover.

    S.... ....

    you should be ashamed of not feeling empathy for someone in distress, regardless of their actions. Most people in abusive relationships have an array of factors that contributes toward them being in such

    S.... ....

    Skullsplitter it is very sad.

  63. Q.... U....

    ❤❤❤❤

  64. A.... S....

    great lyrics; sucky melody.

    I wish they used them better; could have been great

    A.... S....

    Ale Santander this song is a classic. The arrangement is genius.

    A.... S....

    lmao what on earth are you talking, this is legit her best song, and it aint hers. Her second best is Blue Velvet and that wasn't her's either. Followed by Once Upon a Dream which again... isn't her soooooong >.>

  65. l.... r....

    666 likes oooo

  66. J.... B....

    Her vocals on here are so damn good! She has an amazing vocal power. Zammnn

  67. D.... K....

    According to a tumblr post this is the song for Geminis

    D.... K....

    Jessi Rodriguez stand up and cut his dick in half. Don’t allow yourself to be the other woman

    D.... K....

    Lana is a gemini too

    D.... K....

    @:::TomB::: • already done 👍

    D.... K....

    is that why i love this song so much

    D.... K....

    This is a Cancer song for sure. The other woman (the mistress) has low self steem and can't see that she's going nowhere loving a married man.

  68. C.... K....

    Lana put her own spin on this and I love it!

  69. T.... M....

    I don't know what Ms. Simone would say about this cover, but I find it amazing for several reasons: (a) this song is unlike anything else in del Rey's entire discography (a discography of 30-40 songs that have become available only through YouTube); (b) del Rey is stretching herself yet again, both in range (low to high notes) and tone (nasal); (c) the tempo foreshadows the astonishingly slow "Honeymoon" and "Terrence Loves You"; (d) while I find the tone harsh at times, I like to think that del Rey was trying to sound like she was crying while singing; (e) finally, this song fits perfectly in her repertoire of (morbid?) sadness and constitutes yet another piece of autobiography (loosely interpreted): Del Rey herself was an "other woman." I'll be the first to admit that she is not for everybody; there is plenty to object to. But, as you can tell, I continue to be enthralled.

    T.... M....

    Most high street record stores sell all 4 of her recent albums (which includes the 'Ultraviolence' album with this song). Its her earlier recordings that have taken on Eminem-like status in thier availibility....

  70. s.... !....

    such chills

  71. J.... C....

    such a beautiful interpretation!

  72. L.... D....

    she damn sure knows how to cover these classic songs! such a beautiful voice

    L.... D....

    It's because Lana was born in the wrong time period.

  73. M.... ....

    The other guy...

  74. U.... ....

    Jeff Buckley.... hands down

  75. J.... V....

    i love this

  76. T.... M....

    What vocal range is this?!

    T.... M....

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha killed me

    T.... M....

    @Z How pathetic you have to be to reply to an 3 year comment. So salty lmao

    T.... M....

    Z it ain’t that deep

    T.... M....

    Lana: yes

  77. B.... W....

    Poor other woman. ):

    B.... W....

    there's two sides of the coin and both are sad and the real whore are the men

    B.... W....

    What a beautiful cover holy shit... This cover by Lana is so underrated

  79. J.... B....

    BLOODY HELL!!
    Nina Simone would roll over in her grave,if she could & try & choke Lana.
    FUCKING HORRIBLE VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!

    J.... B....

    YAAAASSSS!!!!!! THANK YOU!!

    J.... B....

    Shut the fuck up grandpa

    J.... B....

    Sarah Vaughan does it the best, TBH.

    J.... B....

    J.... B....

    go fuck yourself

  80. C.... ....

    Nina Simone would so approve

    C.... ....

    she so would

    C.... ....

    no she wouldn't

    C.... ....

    shut up grandma

    C.... ....

    Wha not?

    Jade Hernandez ok boomer

    R.... J....

    This song is really sad
