He's the one, the one that you love and he's a friend of mine

And the two of you are happy together as long as the sun shines

But I'm always here to lend you a shoulder when it rains again

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend

But I'll be your man's best friend

Well, I guess it's no secret to any of us, how I feel about you

But to live it out vicariously through him is the best that I can do

If it's true that love is only a game, well then I can play it pretend

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend

But I'll be your man's best friend

This is not a lover's triangle 'cause I know what you see in him

Don't you know that a love unrequited is still love in the end?

He's the one, the one that you love and he's a friend of mine

And the two of you are happy together as long as the sun shines

But I'm always here to lend you a shoulder when it rains again

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend

But I'll be your man's best friend
