The Boyfriend Song

I don’t want to do you wrong
And I won’t stay for very long
But this feeling’s getting kind of strong
and I know I shouldn’t sing this song… but…
I might like you better if you didn’t have a boyfriend
That would be all right, that would be all right with me
And we could be together if you didn’t have a boyfriend
You could stay all night, that would be all right with me
That would be just fine with me
I call your name when I can’t sleep
I’m counting you instead of sheep
I’m driving the wrong way on a one way street
Walking the long way on my two left feet
Climbing the high way, but it’s way too steep
Wanna say it my way, but I just can’t speak
I’ve got myself in way too deep
I might like you better if you didn’t have a boyfriend
That would be all right, that would be all right with me
And we could be together if you didn’t have a boyfriend
You could stay all night, that would be all right with me
That would be just fine with me
(spoken part: lamenting about the girl in the bar)
I’m busy thinking ‘bout the past
I’m dizzy drinking down a glass
I’m in the hot seat with a snowball’s chance
I’m in the back seat with a solo romance
My head is spinning from this one man dance
I wanna tell you, but I just can’t
‘cause I might like you better if you didn’t have a boyfriend
That would be all right, that would be all right with me
And we could be together if you didn’t have a boyfriend
You could stay all night, that would be all right with me
That would be just fine with me
So how’s this story gonna end
‘cause I don’t need you as a friend
