I succumbed
To your discernible charms
I let you slide
Right under my arm
You settled in, watched birds
Spied mourning doves
A cozy little nest
Of conditional love

Slow months
Your breath was sweet
You held me on and on
As the night got deep
You’d escape
Your hand on my nape
Your two timing boyfriend
You said he’s a rake
Then your nine pound hammer
Slams into my chest
(What are you saying?)

You say I’ve hurt you badly
Like your boyfriend did to you
Well I’d like to know
Exactly what that means
And what that says about you (Me?)
Cause me and your boyfriend
Are both singing the blues

I mean
His wandering eye
Led me to flirt
With the wrong kind of guy
That’s you (Ha)
Sweet talkin’ Jim
It took me a while
But you’re just like him

I mean
I hang nicely on your arm
I feed your ego
Where you want to shine
I give it up
But she’s still there
And I’m pleasing you
With her scent in the air
Though its so nice
Spooning with you

I’ve learned your boyfriend suffered
Slings and arrows too (Oh really, me?)
He and I
Got stinking drunk
And talked a lot about you
Yeah, me and your boyfriend
Are both singing the blues

I’m glad
You’ve each found a new friend
As for me
I’m flirting again
I’ve found a man
Who cares about me
He’s sweet as sugar candy
And he gives generously

Are there
Any questions from you
I’m going home
I’ll take care of him too
You both
Can live all alone
Someone else
Will be taking me home
I gotta go
If you want, call me

You know I’m like your boyfriend
I’ve got feelings too (Boo hoo)
Why don’t you look in the mirror
Hear just what you say
And see who’s playing the fool (Not Me)
While me and your boyfriend
Are both singing the blues
While me and your boyfriend
Are both singing the blues
