I Thought You Were My Boyfriend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You told me you loved me
I know where and when
Come sunrise, surprise surprise
The joke's on me again
I know you don't love me
You know I don't care
Keep it hidden better
Did I say the world was fair?
I thought I was just the guy
For you and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be
like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend
Love or not I've always got
Ten guys on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine
One less is nine; get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend
I just hope you're happy
Stringing me along
While you're stringing
I'm here singing
This, my saddest song
I wish I could see you
I wish I could sleep
Should I freak out? Should I seek out
Someone I could keep?
I thought I was just the guy
For you and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be
like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend
Love or not I've always got
Ten guys on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine
One less is nine; get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend
I wanted you tonight
I walked around alot
Wishing you were here
To keep me from sleeping
With anyone who might
Want me, or even not
Some guys have a beer
And they'll do anything
Anything
Anything...
I thought I was just the guy
For you and it would never end (Thought you were my boyfriend...)
I thought we were supposed to be
like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend (Thought you were my boyfriend...)
I thought you were my boyfriend
Love or not I've always got
Ten guys on whom I can depend (Thought you were my boyfriend...)
And if you're not mine
One less is nine; get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend (Thought you were my boyfriend...)
I thought you were my boyfriend...
I thought I was just the guy
For you and it would never end (Thought you were my boyfriend...)
I thought we were supposed to be
like glue
