about

A rocksteady breakup tune, for lost lovers...

lyrics

Does he make you laugh
Like I used to?
Does he love all
The funny little things about you?

I've known since you said we were through
Some day I'd have to see another kissing you
Cause I love you much too much to ignore
That I was never any good for you, so

Chorus:
If he makes you laugh
If he does all the little things you need from a man
Well, then I guess I'm happy for you
I guess I'll move on too

I shoulda known...
That I'd mess things up (mess things up)
I'd want you hear so close but I'd never say
I just made a show of pushing you away

I know that we're just friends and nothing more
Still I can't help my self, girl, I adore you, but

Chorus

So does he make you laugh?
Is he so kind?
Does the thought of me just never cross your mind?

Then I'll get moving on to my own things
I got other roads to travel, other songs to sing

Cause I love you much too much to ignore
That he has always been the right one for you

Chorus
