We 3

I was tapping my foot on a Friday night

To my favorite band, when I was pushed aside

I said, "Hey, don't push me, no, no, 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

Yeah, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow

What 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 girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me

I guess that that's the way it was meant to be

There we were, just we three

You, your girlfriend and me

I've known you forever, you two just met

So easily amused, how fast we forget

In my jealousy, my self-righteous greed

She's a bit like a book I'm too far-sighted to read

And I wish you the best, but I sometimes feel the need

To say, "Remember me"

Yeah, she's your girlfriend, as far as we can see

Does she look at you the way she looks at me?

And here we are, just we three

You, your girlfriend and me

She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see

Better just take her home, better just let her be

When she walks out that door, you'll come looking for me
