Our Mutual Friend
No matter how I try
I just can't get him out of my mind
And I when I sleep, I visualize him
I saw him in the pub
I met him later at the nightclub
A mutual friend introduced us
We talked about the noise
And how it's hard to hear your own voice
Above the beat and the sub-bass
We talked and talked for hours
We talked in the back of our friend's car
As we all went back to his place
On our friend's settee
You told me that you really liked me
And I said, "Cool, the feeling's mutual"
We played old 45's
You said "it's like the soundtrack to our lives"
And I said, "True, it's not unusual"
Then privately we danced
We couldn't seem to keep our balance
A drunken haze had come between us
We sank down to the floor
And we sang a song that I can't sing anymore
And then we kissed and fell unconscious
I woke up the next day, all alone but for a headache
I stumbled out to find the bathroom
But all I found was him, wrapped around another lover
No longer then is she our mutual friend
Our mutual friend
No matter how I try
I just can't get him out of my mind
And I when I sleep
I just can't get him out of my mind
And I when I sleep, I visualize him
I saw him in the pub
I met him later at the nightclub
A mutual friend introduced us
We talked about the noise
And how it's hard to hear your own voice
Above the beat and the sub-bass
We talked and talked for hours
We talked in the back of our friend's car
As we all went back to his place
On our friend's settee
You told me that you really liked me
And I said, "Cool, the feeling's mutual"
We played old 45's
You said "it's like the soundtrack to our lives"
And I said, "True, it's not unusual"
Then privately we danced
We couldn't seem to keep our balance
A drunken haze had come between us
We sank down to the floor
And we sang a song that I can't sing anymore
And then we kissed and fell unconscious
I woke up the next day, all alone but for a headache
I stumbled out to find the bathroom
But all I found was him, wrapped around another lover
No longer then is she our mutual friend
Our mutual friend
No matter how I try
I just can't get him out of my mind
And I when I sleep
