We 3 Lyrics - Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum - Soul Asylum

I was tapping my foot on a Friday night 

To my favorite band, I was pushed aside 

I said, "Hey don't push me", no no 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 

What you destroy today, you might regret tomorrow 

When you're young and defensive it sometimes comes off offensive 

And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed 

The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier 

Who wears the pants, it's faded but clear 

She's your girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me 

I guess if that's the way it was meant to be 

And there we were, just we three 

You, your girlfriend, and me 

I've known you forever, you two just met 

So easily amused, how fast we forget 

In my jealously, my self-righteous greed 

She's a bit like a book, I'm too far sighted to read 

And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need 

To say remember me 

Yeah she's 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 

She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see 

Better just take her home, better just let her be 

When she walks out that door 

You'll come looking for me
