[Intro]
(I've been watching you so long) Girl, you turn me on
('Cause I've been watching you so long) I know it's wrong
[Verse 1]
But I fell in love (ooh...) with Jamie's girl
(Wouldn't have told her) for nothin' in this world
'Cause Jamie was my friend (ooh...) so I try to play it cool
(Yes, she told me) how he treated her so cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they fuss and fight, every day and night
But if you, if you were mine
Girl, I'll love you right day and night
[Chorus]
(I've been watching you so long) Girl, you turn me on
('Cause I've been watching you so long) Oh-ho-ho-ho
Here's where you belong
[Verse 2]
I found the nerve to ask her out (ooh...) for a drink or two
(With a sparkle) in her eyes gave me courage to make my move
I reached to touch her lips, when Jamie walked into the room
(He said "I thought you were my friend!") mm-hm
I said that you must think that I'm a fool
[Pre-Chorus]
Then with fire in his eyes
Jamie said "Do you wanna step outside?"
So I had to defend my pride
So right or wrong, let's get it on
[Bridge]
Oh Jamie, I didn't mean to hurt you so
You didn't treat your woman right
So now the time has come to pay the price
[Chorus]
(I've been watching you so long) I fell in love... with Jamie's girl
('Cause I've been watching you so long) No, I didn't plan it
I got weak and fell in love with her, before I knew what happened
(I've been watching you so long) In a bathroom, baby [?]
Jamie was my friend, but this is where it ends
('Cause I've been watching you so long) Oh-ho, let me tell you somethin'
Ain't no sense in goin' home, Jamie, I got your girl and gone
(I've been watching you so long) I'm in love with my best friend's old lady, la-la-la-la, no no no
('Cause I've been watching you so long) Like a big fool, baby, oh-ho-ho-ho...
