lyrics

I’m sure he loves you now, his head is full of wine.
You look just like his wife but she’s not here tonight.
I know how his mind works, our brains are wired the same.
How could he not kiss you when there is so much love,
so much love, that is filling up his heart?
So much love, so much love, that he doesn’t know what to do with it

but if you knew what he thought you’d run out of this bar
before he finds the courage to ruin his evening and yours.
You think that he’s your friend but he’s just like those other men.
The difference is he pretends that this is about love,
so much love that is filling up his heart,
so much love, so much love, that he doesn’t know what to do with all this love,
all this love, it’s so much it's made him sick.
He needs a slap to the face and a chorus of disapproval:
'You have fallen way short of our expectations.'

But this isn’t how it happens at all.
I don’t point the finger, pin him to the wall.
Say 'go home to your wife, stop dreaming of the circus,'
because I just want you, because I just want you.
Instead I just sit here, watch it all play out.
There is no chorus of disapproval, just disappointment.
