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...
