"I Thought You Were My Boyfriend"


You told me you loved me
I know where and when
Come sunrise, surprise surprise
The joke's on me again
I know you don't love me
You know I don't care
Keep it hidden better
Did I say the world is fair

I thought I was just the guy for you
and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

Love or not, I've always got ten guys
on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

LyricsI just hope you're happy
Stringing me along
While you're stringing
I'm here singing
this, my saddest song
I wish I could see you
I wish I could sleep
Should I freak out
Should I seek out
Someone I could keep

I thought I was just the guy for you
and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

Love or not, I've always got ten guys
on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

I wanted you tonight
I walked around a lot
Wishing you were here to keep me from sleeping
With anyone who might
Want me or even not
Some guys have a beer and they'll do anything
anything, anything

I thought I was just the guy for you
and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

Love or not, I've always got ten guys
on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

I thought I was just the guy for you
and it would never end
I thought we were supposed to be like glue
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend

Love or not, I've always got ten guys
on whom I can depend
And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise
I thought you were my boyfriend
I thought you were my boyfriend
