Bench Warmer

We both love the same man
But he's not the same man
For you and me
We both love the same man
We're caught in the same trap
I'm not defined by what that means

If I've got a fight in me
You've been inviting me
Very enticingly
Would you enlighten me
As to why we should be friends?
So do this one thing for me
Leave out our history
I've acted poorly and for that I'm sorry
But honestly what did you expect?

We both love the same man
We're caught in the same trap
I'm not defined by what that means
We're caught in the same trap
Over the same man
So while we're here why don't we speak?

It's my premonition
That all this volition
Good will and contrition
Is straight ammunition
For the field when you attack
To say you're malicious
Would just be factitious
But I get suspicious
When I've been capricious and you act like you're not mad

If you wanna be the queen of his empire
You'll warm a bench, not a throne
If you wanna be the queen of his empire
I promise you're not alone

Don't ask my permission
He makes the decisions
I've held your position
It's just competition
That's why I'm not going back
You'll wanna petition for better conditions
Impossible mission but he'll keep you wishing
Yea this man is tough to crack

We all love the same man
All of the women who are present
How many more do we not know about?
We all love the same man
We fear our replacement
But then there's quite enough to go around

So here's my confession
I want his affection
So I feel possession
And outright aggression
But you're not the one to blame
You'll never feel threatened
He'll offer protection
There's not much selection
Each girl gets her section
And she's special in her very own way

If you wanna be the queen of his empire
You'll warm a bench not a throne
If you wanna be the queen of his empire
I promise you're not alone
