BESTFRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND


i’m in love with my best friend’s girlfriend
i know it’s reprehensible and wrong
so i’m reluctant to reveal if it’s how i really feel
or just a funny subject for a song

every time i see her she’s with him
every time i see him he’s with her
there’s nothing i can do to separate the two
and i wouldn’t even do it if there were

i’m in love with my best friend’s girlfriend
but i don’t want to rock the boat
i’m not at liberty to say if i really feel this way
or these are just some lyrics that i wrote

you don’t have to tell me ‘cos i know
that these are thoughts i shouldn’t entertain
it’s a journey i’ve embarked on a road that’s clearly marked
“straight ahead for misery and pain”
i want the world to swallow me up cos

i’m in love with my best friend’s girlfriend
it’s a line of thought that must be quickly closed
so i’m afraid you’ll have to guess if this is genuine distress
or just a little song that i composed

it was too much of a secret to keep inside my head
there was no one i could tell, so i wrote this song instead
sometimes i feel so rotten i think i’d like to die
don’t worry i’m just joking…or am i?

really in love with my best friend’s girlfriend
it’s an endless source of suffering and grief
can’t tell you if i’ll be jumping from a cliff
or if i’m I’m actually lying through my teeth

yes i’m in love with my best friend’s girlfriend
but i don’t want to rock the boat
so i’ll leave it up to you to decide if it is true
or if it’s just a stupid song i wrote
is it just a stupid song i wrote?
is it just a stupid song i wrote?
