Somebody Else's Boyfriend
Corrs, The · Other Songs - Corrs, The
Someone elses man has captured my heart
Attention seeking maybe, and it's tearing me apart
I tried my best to charm him into letting her go loose
But he keeps me from retrieving with another good excuse
Though I'd hate it done to me, I'm as busy as can be, still
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Though I realise this game will have to stop
Each day you're diggin' deeper still tryin to get on top
I lie awake at night thinking things could be just fine
When I bring you to believin' that your love should be mine
Though I'd hate it done to me, I'm as busy as can be
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's bBoyfriend
Still runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Still runnin', still runnin', still runnin', still runnin
Although I'd hate it done to me
Although I'd hate it done to me, I'm as busy as can be, still
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend...
Someone elses man has captured my heart
Attention seeking maybe, and it's tearing me apart
I tried my best to charm him into letting her go loose
But he keeps me from retrieving with another good excuse
Though I'd hate it done to me, I'm as busy as can be, still
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
Though I realise this game will have to stop

I lie awake at night thinking things could be just fine
When I bring you to believin' that your love should be mine
Though I'd hate it done to me, I'm as busy as can be
Runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend

Still runnin' after somebody else's boyfriend
