lyrics

They Thought I Was Your Boyfriend.
They saw us and they thought
that I was your boyfriend.
And if they could’ve thought that,
if they could’ve said that
“This must be your boyfriend”,
why couldn’t you think that I could be
your special somebody
here with you tonight?
Isn’t this what a boyfriend does?
Keeps his promise that he’ll show up?
I don’t think he’s meant to go straight on home. Oh, no, no.

They Thought I Was Your Boyfriend,
and you sure were talking
like I was your boyfriend.
Yes, you whispered in my ear
and looked into my eyes
like I was your boyfriend.
And when you sang up there on that stage,
sang all your cares away,
I cried out for more.
Isn’t this what a boyfriend does?
Wants to see you do what you love?
We don’t see you on that stage very much anymore.

This was your big night
and your boyfriend really should’ve been here.
But I didn’t mind
that he didn’t end up coming in here.
’Cause just you and me was just like old times,
and maybe someday those days will be mine again.
Someday, somehow,
but as for now,

you’ll go home to your boyfriend,
though ev’ryone here thought
that I was your boyfriend.
And if they could’ve thought that,
if they could’ve said that
“This must be your boyfriend”,
why couldn’t you think that I could be
your special somebody
here with you tonight?
Isn’t this what a boyfriend does?
Thinks about you a bit too much?
Maybe you should start to think what they thought about me.
They Thought I Was Your Boyfriend.
