I'm tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
How could you try to forget what we once had
Better not tell anyone it was bad
Sorry, I can't get any further away
You better deal
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
Tryin' to pretend that you don't get a small chill
Every single time that I pass you
Tryin' to pretend that you don't want a big thrill
Even half as much as I know you do
I knew you couldn't forget what you once had
Even though it ended so awfully bad
I'm sure the second round won't end the same way
You'd better hope
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
Tryin' to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Tryin' to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
Don't think of running away 'cause I'll catch you
And make you sorrier than you ever knew
I know I've lost it, I don't care, so anyway
You'd better deal
'Cause I'm gonna stay next to you, I never wanted to
But now that I'm next to you, I just can't help myself being next to you
There isn't anyone else that I would rather do
Next to you, next to you, next to you, next to you
