Lyrics

My Best Friend's Girl (Demo)

[Verse 1]

You're always dancing down the street

With your suede blue eyes

Every new boy that you meet

He doesn't know the real surprise

[Pre-Chorus]

(Here she comes again)

Just dancing 'neath the starry sky, ooh

I think she flips

(Here she comes again)

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

I kinda like the way she dips

[Chorus]

She's my best friend's girl

She's my best friend's girl

But she used to be mine

[Verse 2]

You got your nuclear boots

And your drip dry glove

When you bite your lip

It's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove

[Pre-Chorus]

(Here she comes again)

She's dancing 'neath the starry sky, yeah

I think she flips

(Here she comes again)

She's dancing 'neath the starry sky

(Here she comes again)

I kinda like the way she dips

[Chorus]

She's my best friend's girl

She's my best friend's girl, girl

And used to be mine

She's so fine

[Breakdown]

[Verse 3]

Always dancing down the street

With your suede blue eye-eyes

Every new boy that you meet

He doesn't know the real surprise

[Pre-Chorus]

(Here she comes again)

She's dancing 'neath the starry sky

(Here she comes again)

I think she flips

(Here she comes again)

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

(Here she comes again)

I kinda like the way she dips

[Chorus]

She's my best friend's girl

She's my best friend's girl

And she used to be mine

It's fine

[Outro]

(My best friend's girlfriend) Oh

(My best friend's girlfriend) She used to be mine

(My best friend's girlfriend) Yeah, yeah

(My best friend's girlfriend) She used to be mine

(My best friend's girlfriend) Yeah, yeah, yeah

(My best friend's girlfriend) She used to be mine

(My best friend's girlfriend) Yeah, yeah, yeah

(My best friend's girlfriend) Hit it
