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
