I heard he's out with someone new

Wish her luck 'cause she'll need it for 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 alibis

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 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



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



Yes, 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

For he's someone else's trouble now
