My Best Friend's Girl Lyrics

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
she'll make you flip

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
you kinda like the way she dips

she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
and when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
she'll make you flip

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
you kinda like the way she dips

she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine

she's so.. fine.

This would be the perfect 80s song, except it came out in 1978.

Yeah, pretty self explanatory as far as meaning.

@blacksabfan The song "Cars" by Gary Newman often makes it onto 80s playlists. It was released in 1979.

@KristiNH Probably all at the same time.

True story: I used to work with a bloke who's wife had dumped him to run off with his twin brother. This song came on the radio and he was heard singing along quietly - "she's my brother's girl..... she used to be mine". Ouch.

this song is so cool...except that it's about being infatuated with your bestfriends girl/boy friend...which really sucks...

@Kez With the exception that is not that you can't have her. She was yours before. A la Joey Ramone, or Pierre from "Irreversible".

This seems to always happen to guys because they pretetnd to not care when their friends date their x girlfriends. And as always the male spieces wants what they can't have and their x becomes more appealing because of their unattainable status. Every girl knows this feeling.

@DancingHippie Their not friends. I have a half eaten leftover bologna sandwich on a plate in my fridge, do you want that too? Who wants friends who are poachers. Never introduce your wife/gf to your friends.

"here she comes again"

his best friend's girl is multiply orgasmic, that's the "real suprise" "every new boy that she meets" doesn't know

many of ric ocasek's songs contain convoluted sexual innuendo

@Fluffyinsanity '

'...his best friend's girl is multiply (sic) orgasmic, that's the "real suprise" (sic) ...'

Or she has BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

Continuation: Additionally, listening to the song again, I realized, glove is singular, which is odd, as gloves usually come in twos, indicating a possible alternative meaning.

@IheartTheCars Like a baseball glove.
