Songtext We 3 Soul Asylum

We 3

I was tapping my foot on a friday night
To my favorite band I was pushed aside
I said hey dont push me no one pushes me
When I was face to face with the woman I admired
And she gave me this look I could not believe
And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave

See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow
But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow
When youre young and defensive it comes off offensive
And its hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed
The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier
Who wears the pants; its faded but clear

Shes your girlfriend, seems she aint too fond of me
I guess if thats the way it was meant to be
There we were, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me

Ive known you forever, you two just met
So easily amused; how fast we forget
In my jealously, my self-righteous greed
Shes a bit like a book Im too far sighted to read
And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need
To say remember me

Shes your girlfriend, as far as we can see
Does she look at you the way she looks at me
And here we are, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me

Shes your girlfriend, its getting harder to see
Better just take her home, better just let her be
When she walks out that door, youll come looking for me
