The Soul Children "I'll Be The Other Woman" (1974)

[387babycakes]

wow some of these comments are really sad...Bottom line is those who cheat are piss poor morally you can try and justify it by saying he or she is not happy at home he or she lies to there spouse but doesnt lie to you really? by defintion a cheater is a LIAR thats what they do ...but you tell yourself what ever you need to....... to get you thru the thru the night

[N2itv2]

Low-down truth in beautiful form and format!!! That, too is "Soul"--children!!!!

[Gaylel1]

Dedicated to Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain and the other celebrity cheaters. These songs back in the day tell the truth...

[ionyx39Beauty]

i have been the other woman and matter-of-fact that's the only relationship i like but i agree a married casanova i won't put up with!

[reneejazzy]

jus a song, if u can relate to the song ,if not jus enjoy the soulful voices

[wutezTV]

00:26 LAVOHOLICS - Nie ma emocji nie ma rapu

[princessmlg56]

This song is the truth.

[JestemJakubBe]

kurwa Patr00 WOW !

[MsFABO]

Most women get into these kind of relationships because of the man. She says no but almost always falls for him because he makes it his business to please and get her. There's nothing wrong with being the "Other Woman." She' stronger than the wife who's living a lie, while she lives the truth.

[MultiplicityMe2]

@MsFABO lol..what?  There's strength in cheating with a married man? Really, are you serious? How low must your self-esteem be to settle for less than what you deserve, there is absolutely something wrong with being the other woman.

[courtney2140]

If you proudly relate to this song, congratulations on being an idiot.

[denis11ize]

well i gt mre than one othe woman

[The1baddman]

Peaceful Journey, Mr Blackfoot.

[1kingzeus]

R.I.P. Mr. Blackfoot you certainly are a Memphis and Soul Legend

[LovelyMaxwell]

I utterly Love this song. Don't knock the situation, some women become the "other" woman without knowing. Once they find out, it's too late. Can't stop who you fall in love with. :)

[shadesmagazine]

This song is a playa's national anthem. I love it as a 17 yr. old back in 1974. Not much of a playa at that age......................but it was on and crackin' once I hit my 20's. (lol) .................now in my mid 50's, "It's still on and cracking"....ALL THE JOINTS IN MY BODY........and at this time, I can't keep up with the another woman 'cause I won't be able to meet her demands....but I still love this song.

[arlenerogerswilhite]

@rovingeye2 Man thanks for this post this takes me back to my juke box days, shciltz malt liquor sitting at the bar, watermelon tramps coming to my home town to pitch melons, dances, hot as hell in Blythe, down at the river....Man thanks for the memoires here!

[Taray81]

heffas..lol

[theylou]

@MrFlyguy1592 ROTFLMAO!!! TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!

[NINMILLA009]

WHAT I SEE NOWADAYS IS WOMEN AND MEN NOT HAVING ANY RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, PARENTS NEED TO START STEPPING IT UP A NOTCH I SAID QUIT A FEW NOTCHES, JUST BECAUSE YOU GET HURT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME OR RUIN OTHERS RELATIONSHIP TO EZZ THE PAIN... LOOK AT THE CHEATING OR THE BREAK UP AS A LESSON, AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A RELATIONSHIP.. REMEMBER "LOVE PROTECTS"

[crazylady2990]

What do you do when you get tired of being the other woman??

BUT U ALSO LOVE!!!

[5864431048]

i here that catchfree84!!!! and be shut up havis87 and catdaddy1able!!!!

[catchfree84]

women were a lot better back then lol

[havis87]

lot of women have probably been the other woman and don't care or don't even know i have to much respect to lay down with a married man if he does it to his wife he will do it to the other woman i sit back and laugh at the other women at the end of the day a man knows the difference between a good woman and a hoe and in the end the man is only hurting hiself and 9 times out of time the man never leaves the wife and if he does the other woman will get a taste of karma lol

[JazzyJ1318]

@havis87 Sorry that you are the wife! Truth be told it's a lot more fun and rewarding being the "other woman" less drama. Good times and no washing and ironing and cooking to please him! You cook for pleasure and you clean because you know he appreciates the effort you made for him! He brings joy to you and you give him joy. (I've been the wife! the other woman is a lot more fun!) Hope he stays with his wife!

[sassycu]

Now this is how it gose....This that real SHTY

[LadyVilletown636]

Listen and learn!!!!!

[bayoubabe112]

to be your part-time fool, that's just stooping a little too low

[jody808]

this song always takes me back to 1973 with that guitar crying in the background

[1fazon]

my goodness ladies it was a song from the 70's. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!!!

[LiquidGoldSoul]

@1fazon  LOL...ya know?

[1kingzeus]

Memphis TN is the home of Soul Music and we will soon bring it back

@simplyme817 great interpretation of this great Memphis/Stax classic

[REALRECOGNIZEREALG]

conejo home comes first

[eastsidedez1]

Damn this group is so underrated!!!They better than 5th Dimension,Friends of Distinction and Undisputed Truth.I love this group

[tudiefruit]

lol, it was a carry-over from back when many Women had fewer options in life. You grew up married, took care of hubby n Kids. Women "PLAYIN" at same level as Men (work, sex, school, etc) increased AFTER '60's with the "Civil Rights Act" (it benefited Women as much as Minorities, ya kno).

Regardless a cheater is simply that "A CHEATER." Like Whitney Houston's character in "waiting to Exhale" tells her MARRIED lover "you aint no prize (adlib)" after learn he was lying bout leavin Wifey.

[tandrew22011]

this is my jam, i hope you not the other women lol

[simplyme817]

I'm the other woman If the wife or gf knew what we knew about him then you wouldn't be so confident when you call us hoes and desperate. The difference between you and I is he doesn't have to lie to me. I see him for what he truly is and I accept it. He lies to you. Everything you think you have is wrong. A HAPPY MAN WOULD NEVER CHEAT. He's more mine than you think. He hurts you for me. He lies to you to see me. All you have is a title, only because he and I allow you to. you're replaceable.

[tudiefruit]

@simplyme817 lol, Really, a cheater is simply that "A CHEATER." If he WERE to leave her for you, he will probably end up cheating on you as well. BTW, he typically won't leave Wifey cus she WON'T cheat, no matter what he does, but you, you cheating WITH him, how does he KNOW you won't cheat on him. Thats a lil reality I learned from my biological and play Brothers. Regardless, as long as you are HAPPY and don't rock the status quo, "long life live."

[simplyme817]

@tudiefruit If the only thing wifey has on me is she won't cheat then she's pathetic. There is more to a relationship than that,still, I am very faithful and loyal to him. His wife does know about me. She's caught us many times and has threatened to leave, take the kids, she even hits him and he still keeps me. Maybe you need to think about why he won't give me up. Why go through all that trouble if I am just sex?

[khammondcrt]

@simplyme817 AAAAW SHIT..TEL THE STORY

[ozzkid33]

@simplyme817 totally agree!!

[stillbilldj]

@simplyme817 .....I don't know who you are, but I respect what you've said!

Respectfully;

D.J. Still Bill ( Chicago)

[genasmith2011]

@simplyme817 I am in the exact same position and you said what I feel

[simplyme817]

@genasmith2011 i'm glad. It seems my comment has gotten a lot of attention, both good and bad. They forget this song is for us! The "other woman". When we both know we're the one that matters. They see things as black and white, we know better. I've always said, "When you're the other woman you learn so much more about men and relationships." Call us what you want but we're the reason why he smiles. He's with us cause he wants to not cause he doesn't want to lose his kids

[chickstarpower24]

@simplyme817 wow, the bluntness.. but i agree.. A HAPPY MAN WOULD NEVER CHEAT. And a woman is only cheated on because she allows it.., deep down inside if you pay enough attention to your man, you know when somethings going on.

[MultiplicityMe2]

@chickstarpower24 Ooooo You ain't ever lied!

[tamtam7324]

@simplyme817 o wow. sad that half the bullshit you just spoke is actually true. Too bad he is just as replaceable as that woman you're trying to replace. So technically you all are replaceable. the only difference is she has title to the money, cars, half is hers. what do you have exactly? Obviously sex ain't making you known to know one else but you. Just thought to throw that out there. She is seen outside closed doors, unlike the sideline. Keep that in mind next time

[simplyme817]

@tamtam7324 actually, i've met his family and friends. They all refer to me as his gf so does he. I have my own car, my own house, and I pay my own bills. I am very independent I don't need him to do anything for me but be with me. But if having all that makes you feel better then take your little victory. I got where I am on my own you got where you are with help of a man that would rather be with me. However you want to degrade me I'm still the one he's spending his free time with.

[tamtam7324]

@simplyme817 I got where I am with my education not for the pleasures I can give a man, HUGE difference. I do find it pretty funny how you say that he introduced you to the family, they call you girlfriend NEVER wife. Girlfriends are interchangeable. Maybe his wife is dumb or just don't give 2 fucks anymore to care about the selfish bastard. Maybe he is unhappy. But eventually he'll be just as tired with you as he is with his wife now. U may cause the drama but wife can end it. NonMofoFactor!

[simplyme817]

@tamtam7324 OK when did it start being bad to be a gf? You think you got it all figured out but everything you have said has been wrong. Which brings me to my original comment; Everything you think you have is wrong. Think about it, He's not obligated to me yet he is with me. If i'm just sex why isn't he having it with you? Gf aren't interchangable, what do you think the wifey was before? A GF!!! If she can end the drama why hasn't she? you're not as powerful as you think

[lilwoman5555]

@simplyme817 call me old fashion but when did being the "other woman" become such a moniker to be respected or celebrated as a badge of honor?

[JENNIFER6041]

@simplyme817 AMEN!!! LMAO

[MultiplicityMe2]

@simplyme817 ...and he gets to have both women... You try cheating on him and see just how special you are...lol.. I bet he will cut your ass off and stay with his wife..and I bet if his wife cheats on him, he'll have a damn fit..too!

[ElonnaNY]

@MultiplicityMe2 So true! It's hilarious simplyme817 thinks a man who lies, cheats, backstabs his wife won't do the same to her, and thinks he's some grand prize. IMO, this type wants his cake and eat it too. Most likely he's having sex with his wife too....and LOVING IT! Meanwhile, the idiot mistress thinks he's being "faithfull" to her, too stupid to realize he still shags the wife. Cheaters are HAPPY juggling women. SMFH @all the drama.

[MultiplicityMe2]

@ElonnaNY Yep. A cheater is a cheater, but they never want to be cheated on..lol. Some of these women are delusional in their remarks. Simply delusional.

[tamtam7324]

@simplyme817 Just face it, you will always be 2nd, you may say that I'm a contradiction bc of my words but you're just flat out pathetic. You can't even be in a relationship with a single man, no, incongruous women like yourself go after the men who don't even know y they got married. Your position is never going to change! So y do u insist on defending your poor relationship. Like the other person said he gets to have you both and if U cheat HE leaves- wife still wins, u don't. U Lose--weak!

[amp1572]

@simplyme817 WOW! I WAS the other woman 40 yrs ago. She had the papers, I had the man. 35 years ago somebody else was the other woman (Oh I knew the lies he was telling me he had told them to his wife to be with me) I told him" the same thang it took to get me, he had to do the same thang to keep me.Been his wife for 34 yrs and when he gets finished taking care of ME, ain't nothing left for nobody else. I too keep doing the same thang it took to get him.Me and time slowed his roll.

[salsera59]

@simplyme817 I concur,but always let them know that this is all you want from him or her because then,you can never lose who you are. And most of the time,its just about sex,who says love has to be in the picture. Tina Turner said it most beautifully,'Whats love got to do with it'. Perhaps its boring at home with the hubby and most men have that testostorone issue? Regardless girls,dont be so quick to judge. Karma has a way of creeping up on us all...And besides,he always comes back

[MultiplicityMe2]

@salsera59 Why should he have his cake and eat it too! How spiritually devoid must one be to settle for a piece of a man and be the woman on the side. As I said before try cheating on him and see how long the relationship lasts! Men can smell desperation and that's the smell that let's them know what they can get away with...and the scent they will never take seriously! Great song though!

[snelsonbey]

this is an awesome and true song. just great

[98mrsjackson]

It's boils down to the other woman" being truly afraid of loosing the man that is clearly not hers to someone else, how selfish is that?- not to mention that they can never be as comfortable around him really go out with him places etc. just in hiding!- can't talk to the wife even though she will have no problem talking to her, He knows just how far he & the devil can wrap her around their finger- it's worst than getting your purse snatched!-

[kionnah21]

wtf was they thinkin bck then i gotta be the only one not da other woman

[JazzyJ1318]

@kionnah21 If you are the wife, believe me, there is another woman! Keep your head in the sand and keep believing that you are the only one!! My momma always says "Find a Fool, bump her head!!!

[Deitria1]

I just don't get it !!!!! what happen to our worth as women, a man you an have for yourself. I truely think that women find the as a thrill to be with another man's woman. It's just down right nasty and low as a woman. You are sloppy seconds!!! And because you have allowed him to do it, the respect level is really jacked. I guess, you can help who you fall inlove with, you choose to be low. Women with low self estem do things like that. Sadly u didn't get the full benfits of a true queen.

[apple123561]

OH SO TRUE.

[BLKBUTERFLY01]

I remember this group. Loved them then still real!

[NNETTADVS]

@BLKBUTERFLY01 I KNOW THATS RIGHT. ME EITHER

[943xoxo]

There are more other woman than you know... and don't even know!!!!!!!!!

[laceyloko]

When you are in love with a man that yo love so much you dont care. Long as I know and Im five steps ahead of his last thinking im good. Im the one wit the last name so any other hoe that he finds in the streets is just another useless object! Get your own so you can be proud and say u have your own!

[MsFreeboosiebadazz]

this is that smooth jams that i used to listen to and im only eighteen

[latasha491]

Music back in the day had meaning. This song along is one of those songs that any woman who has been the other woman will be over and over again. The way she sang this song you knew that she felt every word. She wasn't a fool. She was brave to let the world know that she is not the only other woman

[GENODAG]

this the anthem for all the hoes and hoe ass niggas.

Monica put hoes like this on blast

Sideline Hoe

LOL

Hoe know your place!

[mssvic88]

get your own man adultrey hurts alot of people the kids inlaws friends and most of all GOD

[mssvic88]

this is a hoe anthem who ever agrees with this is a hoe see thats easy hoe 101 sang hoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adrianaiden1]

@mssvic88 LOLOLOL for sure its a true hoe's anthem:-)

[pythisbabi]

@PitBulls4WhirledPeas. I highly doubt it because unlike the one b4 i stay 5 steps ahead, when he sleepin i'm beside him, when he working in ,I'm working right next to him but dnt think i dnt give him his space.. see we have something most dnt, that's trust and I'm 13 years younger than him so anytime he decides to step out, he knows anything he can do I can do better and find another man to fill his shoes but i dnt have too kuz we are meant to be dnt hate cuz your relationship went sour.. thanx.

[JazzyJ1318]

@pythisbabi Do you go with him to pick up his viagara and/or cialis?

[pythisbabi]

@PitBulls4WhirledPeas. I highly doubt it because unlike the one b4 i stay 5 steps ahead, when he sleepin i'm beside him, when he working in ,I'm working right next to him but dnt think i dnt give him his space.. see we have something most dnt, that's trust and I'm 13 years younger than him so anytime he decides to step out, he knows anything he can do I can do better and find another man to fill his shoes but i dnt have too kuz we are meant to be dnt hate cuz your relationship went sour.. thanx

[cnottagejr]

well my woman was never around and was working 2 jobs and she didn't want no kids with me. she didn't want no part of me so i went out and found me another woman she was there for me and treated me like a king and we had 4 kids and got married so i believe in the other woman. those was some of the greatest years of my life i had to have her so when i left my wife she didn't cared at all so i was in the clear. i didn't want no part time lover

[pythisbabi]

love dis song, however I don't have this problem cause the man I got is whooped and we haven't even had sex that's what real love will do to a man and now he and his wife live in diff towns, and are heading for a divorce.. yeaup

[PitBulls4WhirledPeas]

@pythisbabi the man who leaves his wife for you will leave his wife for the next...enjoy it while it lasts :/

[87BAMAPEACH]

IM SORRY I CANT BE THE OTHER WOMAN BUT....I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!OMG

[toywitme2009]

This exemplifies great music!!!

[dajahb1]

dont ever be the other women ..get your own u deserve your own..if he love u he will leave the wife....

[lfcurtis1]

What we will do for love.

[Jolynn68]

This song is for my daughter's father. May he Rest In Peace, I still loved you and always will. Thank you for giving me my daughter, I will always have a part of you with me in her, and she loves and misses you very much.

[TeeDub72]

Love this song....my mom used to play this song all the time.

[ANakaAntwane]

I would love a instrumental to this song.

[special1938]

I love this song but i thank God so far i never had to be in that situation .

[daphnerh1984]

@special1938 And do yourself and don't ever get in this situation!!! Not ever going to end on a positive note...and could possibly cause you the worst pain you've ever had. Take it from me, DON'T DO IT!! When you're young and vurnerable, its easy to slip into a situation like this...but just be on your guard and no matter how tempting he may be, or how fine he is, or how sweet he is, if he belongs to another woman, he is off limits and toxic for you in every regard..

[goonette07]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[detriotman]

You are, a fool if, he cheat too be with you, he will cheat on you.

[born2luvyou504]

Love this song... I was in this situation but got out

[JustMeBabeee]

@born2luvyou504 Thank Goodness you got out!

[777Nubianqueen]

People today, do just this, sad but very true. Music like this really makes a person think about life in general, and where to go from there and move on.

[MrBama27]

This song is lived out everday in the lives of some. Its sad that a woman or man who become seconds. But then again....thats life!

[1sweetlady99]

@Weirdthinkin Agreed. It's pretty sad.

[MuscleMikal]

LOL...A girl sang this for our 1974 Junior High School talent show.

What was the music teacher who played piano for her thinking?

Sure, I'd let a 13 year old girl sing this at an assembly....Sure I would.....

I don't think so....LOL

[nessieb4]

the words are crazy & hurtful for the woman doing this type of sh!t...poor wife..stupid !!s husband..man or whoever in this type of situation.. understand they were singing what they knew was real...

[foxxy1959]
