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 its “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 Im doing what Im 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 Im containing
And hearing no applause
from all the thoughts Im 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 dont know why Im doing what Im doing
It's alright Im 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 dont know why Im doing what Im doing
It's alright Im okay
I'm alright now, I dont want you anyway
