The Thing I Like Best About Him Is His Girlfriend Songtext
von The Wedding Present

(Me to her)
It′s been in my head but I've never said anything to you before
And to simplify, well, I′ve been living a lie but I can't lie anymore
So I'm going out here on a limb; I don′t want to pretend
Because the thing I like best about him is his lovely girlfriend

(Her to me)
I was fine until this all unfurled and, yes, I′m wild about you
But you're asking me to change my world and that′s not something I can do

(Me to her)
I didn't intend to steal my friend′s girlfriend, but well then is it theft
When we both know that I would treat you so much better if you left?


(Her to me)
I thought that this was all just in my head
Sure, it's appreciated, but if he heard what you just said he′d be completely devastated

(Me to her)
I'm not making this up on a whim, believe me, I know it's wrong
I went to all those boring things with him just in case you came along
I′ve tried so long to find a girl like you and all the time you were right here near me
I know you say he loves you too but, oh, you′ve got to hear me
So I'm going out here on a limb; I don′t want to pretend
Because the thing I like best about him is his lovely girlfriend

(Her to me)
Why didn't you say that you felt this way?
This is all just too surreal
And I′m going to need time because right now I'm not sure how I feel
Well, yes it′s true, I might've thought about you, but it all seemed quite unreal
Yes I'm going to need time
