We 3

I was tapping my foot on a Friday night

To my favorite band and 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 and I wanted to leave

See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow

But you destroy today, you might regret tomorrow

When you're young and defensive it sometimes comes off offensive

And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed

And the lasting relationship sinks right off the pier

Who wears the pants, it's faded but clear

She's your girlfriend, she ain't too fond of me

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

But there we were, just we three

You, your girlfriend, and me

Seems I've known you forever, seems you two just met

So easily amused, how fast we forget

That in my jealously, on 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

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

You better just take her home, you better just let her be

When she walks out that door

You'll come looking for me
