The Magnetic Fields - I Thought You Were My Boyfriend lyrics

rate me

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.

I 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.

(thought you were my boyfriend)

I thought we were supposed to be like glue,

I thought you were my boyfriend.

(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.

(thought you were my boyfriend)

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise,

I thought you were my boyfriend.

(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.

(thought you were my boyfriend)

I thought we were supposed to be like glue,

I thought you were my boyfriend.

(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

(thought you were my boyfriend)

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise

I thought you were my boyfriend.

(thought you were my boyfriend)

I thought you were my boyfriend.
