lyrics

He’s your lover boy
All dressed in black
It gets awkward here
When you come with him in tow
Askin’ how I am
With those great sad brown eyes
You’re so desperate for my forgiveness

But that’s not the way to go about it
It’s just not the way to go

He’s your lover boy
And he looks a little like you
He takes his guitar almost everywhere he goes
Singing sad, sad songs
To all my so-called friends
He said he wants to be good friends with me

But that’s not the way to go about it
It’s just not the way to go

He’s your lover now
And you’re all wrapped up in him
You can’t see my soul anymore when you look at me
You can’t see anything outside your bubble
You think he’s the king and you’re the queen
And you want my loyalty
You can’t do this to me
And expect to get away with it
It’s just not the way to go
Whoa

But that’s not the way to go about it
It’s just not the way to go

But that’s not the way to go about it
It’s just not the way to go
