(Waiter...could we have the same table we had yesterday?)
Uuuuuuuuuuuh.....
Here we are again...
Sipping our drinks,just like friends...
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know,that I am not your guy hmm
I wonder if they see,that you don't belong to me
Wish that you could be....mine (mine all mine)
It'll be hard for him to understand
I'm his friend,and he is your man...
I wonder what,my lady would say...
If she knew,I met you everyday
Sooner or later.don't you know
They go find a way to hate us
Wish that you could be...mine (mine, all mine)
It's 2 a.m. The place is gonna close
The bartender looks,as though he knows
Everybody's,everybody's made it home
Here we sit together all alone
I got to get up and pay,don't you know
I got to explain why I am so late?
I wish that you could have to go home
Oooooh oooooh go home...
I wish that you were mine baby!
I'll give you the world!
Every little thing your little heart desires
(All mine) hmmmmm....mine,mine (all mine)
It'll be hard,so har for him to understand (All mine)
I'm his friend,and don't you know,he's your man? (All mine)
I wonder what,I wonder what,my lady would say (all mine)
If she knew,I met you every day (All mine)
