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

«It's been in my head, but I’d 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»

«I was fine until this all unfurled

Yes, I’m wild about you

But you’re asking me to change my world

And that’s not something I can do

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!»

«I wouldn’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?»

«Why didn’t you say

That you felt this way?

This is all just too surreal!

Because right now, I’m

Not sure how I feel

Well yes it’s true

I might have thought about you

But it all seems quite unreal»

«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 hard 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 I love you better, 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»
