My Best Friend's Girl
The Cars · The Cars Definitive Collection [2002]
You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise
Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
You kinda like the way she dips
She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl
And she used to be mine
You've got your nuclear boots
And your drip dry gloves
And when you bite your lip
It's some reaction to love, the love, a love
Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky (here she comes again)
You kinda like the way, ya like the way she dips
She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl, oh
And she used to be mine
She's so fine
You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise
Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky (here she comes again)
You kinda like the way, ya like the way she dips
She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl, oh
And she used to be mine
She's so fine
My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend (she used to be mine)
My best friend's girl friend (she's so fine)
My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend

My Best Friend's Girl
Released in 1978 on The Cars' debut album, 'My Best Friend's Girl' stands as a defining track of the new wave movement. Written by Ric Ocasek and performed by the band, the song blends synth-driven pop with a driving rhythm guitar line that became a signature of their sound. It explores themes of romantic confusion and the complexities of friendship, delivered with a cool detachment that became the band's hallmark. The track remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a quintessential example of late 1970s pop-rock that bridged the gap between punk energy and melodic sophistication.
