We 3 - Soul Asylum

I was tapping my foot

On a Friday night

To my favorite band

I was pushed aside

I said, «Hey, don’t push me

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

See, I do believe anger

Is offset by sorrow

What you destroy today

You might regret tomorrow

When you’re young and defensive

It comes off offensive

And its hard to repay

The tolerance that you’ve borrowed

The lasting relationship

Sinks right off the pier

Who wears the pants

It’s faded but clear

She’s your girlfriend

Seems she ain’t too fond of me

I guess that that’s the way

It was meant to be

There we were just we 3

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 farsighted to read

And I wish you the best

I sometimes feel the need

To say «Remember me»

Yeah, 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 3

You, your girlfriend, and me

She’s your girlfriend

It’s getting harder to see

Better just take her home

Better just let it be

When she walks out that door

You’ll come looking for me
