I was tapping my foot on a Friday night
To my favorite band I was pushed aside
I said "hey don t push me no one pushes me"
When I was face to face with the woman I admired
And she gave me this look I could not believe
And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave

SeeI do believe anger is offset by sorrow
But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow
When you re young and defensive it comes off offensive
And it s hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed
The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier
Who wears the pants; it s faded but clear

She s your girlfriendseems she ain t too fond of me
I guess if that s the way it was meant to be
There we werejust we three
Youyour girlfriendand me

I ve known you foreveryou two just met
So easily amused; how fast we forget
In my jealouslymy self-righteous greed
She s a bit like a book I m too far sighted to read
And I wish you the bestI sometimes feel the need
To say remember me

She s your girlfriendas far as we can see
Does she look at you the way she looks at me
And here we arejust we three
Youyour girlfriendand me

She s your girlfriendit s getting harder to see
Better just take her homebetter just let her be
When she walks out that dooryou ll come looking for me
