Buckley, Jeff - The Other Woman Lyrics






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

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 baby comes to call
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
Cause when she's by his 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

Buckley, Jeff The Other Woman Comments
  1. J.... A....

    His version and Nina's are the only ones I need.

    J.... A....

    I also adore lana del rey's version

  2. j.... g....

    Lana's version may not be the original, but it's the best version

    j.... g....

    Nope...Lana version is not great

  3. R.... G....

    🔥❤

  4. F.... V....

    Fantastic!!!! 😍😍😍😍

  5. K.... T....

    Just Beautiful

  6. D.... O....

    My goosebumps have goosebumps, SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful and soft.

  7. Z.... ....

    His voice makes my soul vibrate.

  8. H.... ....

    I noticed he covers a lot of Nina Simone. Only deep thinkers can keep up with Nina Simone--complicated people. Not knowing your father (or other traumas) can make people complicated.

  9. J.... ....

    Omg what a talent that was! He is so missed

  10. M.... C....

    💕💕💕 Cada vez que descubro un registro de este magnífico ser, oh amado Jeff gracias infinitas gracias 💕💕💕

  11. P.... L....

    Sorry folks this song should never be sang by a male even if they have a good voice. It sounds false like a fish outta water

  12. K.... P....

    WHAT THE F , this is so good .. i’m crying .

  13. G.... M....

    Beautiful

  14. A.... D....

    Typical Lana goes from her highest to her deepest note in a sec, probably because this man inspired her.

    A.... D....

    She has listed Nina Simone and Jeff as some of her biggest influences.

    The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
    The other woman is perfect where her rival fails

    There are never toys that's scattered everywhere 

    And when her baby comes to call
    He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen

    K.... ....

    This is not "chill". This is haunting.

  30. E.... J....

    1. Jeff Buckley 2. Nina Simone

    E.... J....

    reverse that now! Nina is the best!

    E.... J....

    Check out Lana Del Rey's. It's 100x better

    E.... J....

    you like that voice nd 20 insruments all at the same time to back it up?

  31. A.... D....

    I'm in tears.

  32. e.... ....

    Breathtaking....

  33. G.... S....

    too down for that ending

  34. v.... ....

    Nina simone... lana del rey and this... are amazing the 3 versions...

    v.... ....

    holy trinity

  35. T.... C....

    this version made me cry

  36. J.... e....

    Nina Simone would be proud.

    J.... e....

    @Jan emmanuel Lim Nina Simone AND Sarah Vaughan would be both proud of him!

  37. m.... ....

    Andy Wallace set that mini studio "with the always plugged innTelecaster "up at Bearsville so Jeff could do this otherworldly stuff. Amazing.

    m.... ....

    It felt very natural, and raw. Talent will out. T x

  38. N.... N....

    1.nina simone
    2.lana del rey
    3.jeff
    theres levels to this song boi

    N.... N....

    @Ngure Njoroge Anne Sofie Von Otter - that version is breathtakingly beautiful

    N.... N....

    @James Ryan agree! but i'm shocked at jeff here. WOW!

    N.... N....

    @Ngure Njoroge Jeff's version is incredible.. 1 Nina 2 Jeff 3 Sarah Vaughan

  39. P.... M....

    sheet, lana del rey version is sooo better

    P.... M....

    @gina x the other woman finds time to manicure her songs

    P.... M....

    She sounds bored. Stop smokin crack, son!

    P.... M....

    You sound mad.

    P.... M....

    Jeff Buckley it's better.

  40. S.... ....

    1:02 That short trill always gives me chills. 

    S.... ....

    Stinkyfinger agreed, that section for me is one of the most amazing things he ever sung

  41. m.... d....

    I first heard this song sang by Lana Del Reys and thought what a nice strong song. Then I saw Jeff Buckley. Had a recording and this song became a wonderful song, his voice is pure heaven the tone is wonderful. I checked a few different singers who have covered this song but for me Jeff Buckley's one is the best.

    m.... d....

    I'm quite fond of this version too! I like the original too, by Nina Simone. 

    m.... d....

    Nina Simone's is not the original...

    m.... d....

    I've heard the three versions too, and I think Lana puts context to the song, counting on the fact that most of her songs are relatable to the same themes... I like Nina's and Jeff's version, but I think Lana's the more accurate version.

    m.... d....

    @Martin Dyson Lana's version brings more emotion into it, this version is good. But not better than Nina's or Lana's. Lana put vocals into that song.

    m.... d....

    I agree.

  42. b.... ....

    I cant believe im sating this!! but this is better than nina simone  just friggin beautiful
    although  you can hear the influence of her in his rendition  that's ok though

    b.... ....

    @philly baby youre right  I listened to it again  and hes trying to hard to sound like nina   guess I broke the crack habit  eh/  lol

    b.... ....

    +daniel klodt not true. He respected her & no need to copy. He uses that singing style in countless covers.

    b.... ....

    @elevenart so to sum up what you've said more clearly - he's made a CAREER out of imitating nina simones singing style on countless songs and covers.

    b.... ....

    @daniel klodt welcome aboard, crack kills. :)

    b.... ....

    @philly baby
    yawn. It's ok that ur clueless, doesn't matter. Ciaociao

  43. g.... ....

    Wonderful! I've always loved this song. I love it more listening to this :o)

  44. G.... D....

    one of my favorites
    the room he was singing in is perfect, the echo is awesome!

    G.... D....

    It's the reverb mostly, not the room

    G.... D....

    It was the side room up at Bearsville in Woodstock, NY. Andy Wallace set the room up because he knew this was gonna happen.
