I heard he's with someone new

Wish her luck cause she'll need it fore she's through

That man's nothin' but a crash course in the blues

But some girls gotta learn the hard way

Well he'll disappear till you think he must be dead

Then he'll sweet talk his way back into your bed

Lose all your money on his inside bets burn up your sofa with his cigarettes

But he's someone else's trouble now somebody else's to worry about

Lord knows I loved him the best way I knew how

But he's someone else's trouble now yes he's someone else's trouble now



She won't believe how that man can lie

Looking back now I laugh at his wild alibies

But there was nothin' funny bout it at the time

Still I thought I could not live without him

But he's someone else's trouble...



With mixed emotions I set him free

Cause every now and then he was as sweet as he could be

Can't help but think about him when the nights are long

Sometimes I miss him but I'm so glad he's gone

[ steel - guitar ]

Yes he's someone else's trouble...
