Hello, may I speak to Barbara
Barbara, this is Shirley
You might not know who I am
But the reason I am calling you is because
I was going through my
Old man`s pockets this morning
And I just happened to find your name and number
So woman to woman
I don`t think it`s being anymore than fair
To call you and let you know
Where I`m coming from
Now Barbara
I don`t know how you`re gonna take this
But whether you be cool
Or come out of a bag on me
You see it doesn`t really make any difference
But it`s only fair that I let you know that
The man you`re in love with
He's mine
From the top of his head
To the bottom of his feet
The bed he sleeps in
And every piece of food he eats
You see, I make it possible
The clothes on his back
Ha ha, I buy them
The car he drives
I pay the note every month
So I`m telling you these things
To let you know how much I love that man
And woman to woman
I think you`ll understand
How much I`ll do to keep him
Woman to woman
If you`ve ever been in love
Then you know how I feel
And woman to woman
Now, if you were in my shoes
Wouldn`t you have done the same thing too
Oh, oh, woman to woman
Can`t you see where I`m coming from
Woman to woman
Ain`t that the same thing you would`ve done
Woman to woman
Now should I just step aside
And let her take what`s rightfully mine
Oh, oh, woman to woman
Was I right or was I wrong
I ain`t gonna let you break up my happy home
Now woman to woman
Now you see I don't want no trouble now
I hope you understand
I love that man and he`s mine
I`m talking to you
Woman to woman
You should be woman enough to understand
That man, I love that man
Woman, woman
Woman to woman, he`s mine
And I ain`t gonna give him up
My baby, I ain`t lying, now

There are a lot more songs about being the wronged party than about being the "other woman". "Woman To Woman" is one of those.
I'm sure there are a fair number of "other woman" songs, but I can't think of them right now. Here are a few, though:
Betty Wright - "Clean-Up Woman" (ostensibly from the POV of the wronged legit woman, but not really)
Joni Mitchell - "Coyote"
MIA - "Hombre"
Amazing Rhythm Aces - "Third-Rate Romance, Low-Rent Rendezvous"
The Reputation - "She Turned Your Head" (sung from the POV of the obsessed, cheated-upon girlfriend, but in interviews Elizabeth Elmore has explained that she was the woman the song's speaker was spying on)
Sarge - "Homewrecker" (apparently Elmore is familiar with this situation)
The Roots - "Break You Off" (a male "other woman")

two years pass...
Yes, he's got some other mouths to feed
He's got a wife and kids that he takes good care of
And it's his love I get my share of
Some day maybe she will set him free
But if things don't change he knows that I won't leave
Sure, the neighbours they turn away from me
They talk all about the way I'm living, and who pays the rent, and what part am I giving
But what they say just don't mean a thing to me
Cause I've found the only man I'll ever need
Irma Thomas - These Four Walls
