Someone Else’s Problem

Someone Else’s Problem

Words & Music by Jon Davis

Finalist 2014 Northern Territory Song of the Year

We had those fireworks at the start

When she walked in won my heart

But it wasn’t long before I saw her darker side

Sometimes she’d make me feel so small

I’d wonder what I saw in her at all

She said she’s be with me forever; I guess she lied

Chorus

Now she’s someone else’s problem

Someone else’s problem

She’s someone else’s problem

Not mine

She could never pay her rent

But she could afford booze and cigarettes

And as the bills came in she’d put them on my card

She did no work around the house;

I still made sure she never went without

It was fun sometimes but man she made life hard

Chorus

Now she’s someone else’s problem

Someone else’s problem

She’s someone else’s problem

Not mine

But when you see her magic smile

Or that sparkle in her eyes

Or the way she slips into that little black dress;

They’re the things that money can’t buy

She complained I worked too much

You know she never event made her own lunch ...

And sometimes she’d be in my ear all night and day

They say she found somebody new

I guess she’ll do it to him too

Then there’ll come a time when he’ll think of her and say...

Chorus

Now she’s someone else’s problem

Someone else’s problem

She’s someone else’s problem

Not mine

Now she’s someone else’s problem

Someone else’s problem

She’s someone else’s problem...

But I still wish she was mine...
