I Thought You Were My Boyfriend Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

You told me you loved me 

I know where and when 

Come sunrise, surprise 

Surprise, the joke's on me again 

I know you don't love me 

You know I don't care 

Keep it hidden better 

Did I say the world is fair 

I thought I was just the guy for you 

And it would never end 

I thought we were supposed to be like glue 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

Love or not, I've always got ten guys 

On whom I can depend 

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I just hope you're happy 

Stringing me along 

While you're stringing 

I'm here singing this, my saddest song 

I wish I could see you 

I wish I could sleep 

Should I freak out? 

Should I seek out 

Someone I could keep? 

I thought I was just the guy for you 

And it would never end 

I thought we were supposed to be like glue 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

Love or not, I've always got ten guys 

On whom I can depend 

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I wanted you tonight 

I walked around a lot 

Wishing you were here 

To keep me from sleeping 

With anyone who might 

Want me or even not 

Some guys have a beer 

And they'll do anything 

Anything, anything 

I thought I was just the guy for you 

And it would never end 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought we were supposed to be like glue 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

Love or not, I've always got ten guys 

On whom I can depend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

I thought I was just the guy for you 

And it would never end 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought we were supposed to be like glue 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

Love or not I've always got ten guys 

On whom I can depend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise 

I thought you were my boyfriend 

(Thought you were my boyfriend) 

I thought you were my boyfriend
