Boyfriend - Lisa Stansfield

Do I sit alone at home?

Do I pick up the telephone?

Can I keep my self control

With my best friend’s boyfriend

It’s more than my life’s worth to hit on you

The water’s too deep but the passion is too

I’ve got your number in my pocket

And your body on my mind

Oh baby why must life be so unkind?

Of all the people it could be

To come and test my loyalty

If only it was anyone but you

'Cos you’re my best friend’s boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She’s away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

Well I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine’s a losing hand

'Cos you’re my best friend’s boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has

She told me to call you if I needed you

A little did she know just how much I do

Now water’s getting deeper

And I’m swimming for my life

Oh baby why, oh baby why?

Of all the people it could be

To come and test my loyalty

If only it was anyone but you baby

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She’s away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine’s a losing hand

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has

Do I sit alone at home?

Do I pick up the telephone?

Can I keep my self control

With my best friend’s boyfriend?

The feeling I should never speak

Of I’m trying but the flesh is weak

I know I’m getting in too deep

With my best friend’s boyfriend

Feeling I should never speak

Of I’m trying but the flesh is weak

I know I’m getting in too deep

With my best friend’s boyfriend

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She’s away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

I don’t know what my heart heart heart saying

Whichever way I play it mine’s a losing hand

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has

Do I sit alone at home?

Do I pick up the telephone?

Can I keep my self control

With my best friend’s boyfriend?

A feeling I should never speak

Of I’m trying but the flesh is weak

I know I’m getting in too deep

With my best friend’s boyfriend

I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine’s a losing hand

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has

You’re my best friend’s boyfriend
