lyrics

(Verse)
Standing in line, half of my life.
Waiting for you to show me.
All that affection, that you must hold.
Because you know that I hold you so boldly.
Then a dear friend, stole you away.
Taking the love that was mine.
He'd always ask me, why I'm upset.
Well I ignored it but I told him this time.
(Chorus)
Ah woo. Why can't you just see?
Ah woo. Why can't you be me?
(Verse)
There I was, so pitiful and shamed.
You both made me so sick.
Furtive and demure, you were my cynosure.
And with deliance you pull this bit.
You may not believe in, our dulcet affection.
You have caused so much pain.
But while I brood, you push me with accusations.
That this time it's not the same.
(Chorus)
Ah woo. Why can't you just see?
Ah woo. Why can't you be me?
Ah woo. All I wanted was your love.
Ah woo. He's the one she's thinking of.
(Synth Solo)
(Bridge)
And then I made myself believe.
That you two never deceived me.
As time went on things just got worse.
Yet you still ask me how it hurts. Oh no.
(Chorus)
Ah woo. Why can't you just see?
Ah woo. Why can't you be me?
Ah woo. All I wanted was your love.
Ah woo. He's the one she's thinking of.
