You own this
lyrics
now I fear I'm doomed
to ricochet around
like that squash ball
you just hammered
you serve up your news
I duck and clench a smile
windows shatter
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
‘cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
winter wafting in
when once we were so warm
in a way we’re still not speaking
as his hands touch you
I flinch away from harm
oh you're beaming
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
at your dinner party
our eyes locking as he
says he doesn’t like Scrabble
then he's washing dishes
you’re laughing from the kitchen
my resistance unravels
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
