[verse 1]
Crying diamonds for you, dear
Has become my occupation
Thought I could shake you off with ease
But there’s no such medication
‘Cause just seeing your smile
Made this damned life worthwhile
[Chorus 1]
The other guy must leave
He can’t wait till he’s older
Everyone will see
Nobody will be bolder
And he’ll be so happy that
It’s gonna hurt to smile
That’s the other guy
[post-Chorus]
If I love love, I must go
‘Cause I love love more than home
[verse 2]
With you running through my brain
Life is an impossible mission
But I was born to find my way
Follow my artistic vision
And that’s the other guy
Burnt alive by his lust for life
[Chorus 1]
The other guy must leave
He can’t wait till he’s older
Everyone will see
Nobody will be bolder
And he’ll be so happy that
It’s gonna hurt to smile
That’s the other guy
[Chorus 2]
He’ll love you so deep
And he will bring you roses
He’ll sing you to sleep
And watch you till the morning
And he’ll be so happy that
It’s gonna hurt to smile
That’s the other guy
