He sits down beside me and laughs when I tell him a joke.
We understand each other but sometimes i here his words choke.
Cause he is confused, but he knows he's amused. And I swear, he's never shed a tear!

/main verse/

I look at him into his deep brown eyes and say it out loud, just say it!
You love someone else and I know it, But I can't help myself. Your my best friend. She is so serious but never mysterious. When you ask me for a single rose, I know its not for me... Can't you see?
So babe I know this is wrong but living life in a cage is not gonna get you strong. She's playing games with you and your life! And that night...
When you give me the single rose... I know its fine...
