Lyrics

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 to know
I walked around a lot
Wishing you were here to keep me from sleeping
With anyone who might
Want me or even love
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
