I Thought You Were My Boyfriend

The Magnetic Fields · i [2004]

"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 was 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 alot

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...
