I remember falling down when he introduced me

I always shoot for subtlety but use the term so loosely

Everyone was talking to her words from all directions

So I talked with him instead my only good protection

Only on her way to leave she stopped to have a word

I know she said "goodbye" but it's 'I love you' that I heard

Getting to the telephone I swear it almost killed me

Nearly coughing blood while saying, 'no it's not too early'

We joked about the party and I know I made her smile

Then she said her boyfriend, too, had such a lovely time

And I don't know why I'm doing what I'm doing

It's alright I'm okay

I'm alright now, I don't want you anyway

Now we're drinking at the pub and having one too many

I'm looking at him for a flaw and man I can't find any

God, I feel so guilty for the feelings I'm containing

And hearing no applause from all the thoughts I'm entertaining

Heading for the bathroom he says, 'will you watch her close?'

She laughs as he says, 'I just don't trust those other boys'

And I don't know why I'm doing what I'm doing

It's alright I'm okay

It's alright now, I don't want you anyway

And if I say my heart is breaking now over you

What would you do

And if you saw the pieces falling down

Right in front of you what would you do

And I don't know why I'm doing what I'm doing

It's alright I'm okay

I'm alright now, I don't want you anyway
