Soul Asylum
We three
I was tappin' my foot
On a Friday night
To my favourite band
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 all set 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 aint 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
And 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
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
Better just take her home
Better just let her be
When she walks out that door
You'll come looking for me
