Waiter, could we have the same table we had yesterday?
ย
Here we are again
Sipping our drinks just like friends
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know that I'm not your guy, mm-hm
I wonder if they see
That you don't belong to me
Wish that you could be mine
Mine
All mine
ย
It'll be hard for him to understand
I am his friend and he is your man
I wonder what my lady would say
If she knew I met you everyday, mm-hm
Sooner or later
Don't you know, they're gonna find out and they'll hate us
Oh, I wish that you could be mine
Mine
All mine
ย
It's 2 a.m., the place is gonna close
The bartender looks as though he knows
Everybody's, everybody's made it home
Here we sit again all alone
Mm-hm, I've got to get up at 8
Don't you know, I've got to explain why I'm so late
Mm, I wish I didn't have to go home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, go home
I wish that you were mine, baby
Oh, I'd give you the world
And every little thing your little heart desires
My, my, my, yeah
ย
It'll be hard
So hard for him to understand
I am his friend and don't you know, he is your man?
I wonder what, I wonder what my lady would say
ย
If she knew I met you everyday
Oh-oh-oh
