I Thought You Were My Boyfriend - 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 was 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

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 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 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
