He's a Bit Faster

Maybe I got there just a little late
It was an act of fate, or maybe something I ate
Maybe it's just a matter of fact
I should have cleaned up my act,
or kept an eye on my back
Maybe this crime won't pay
As he steals her heart away
I always wanted to catch her
But he's a bit faster
Maybe she don't want to fall in love
Be my turtle dove, sent from heaven above
Maybe she just doesn't like my friends
I'm not her livin' end, don't do well with pretend
Maybe I should give her a call
But he's on the phone in the hall
I always wanted to catch her, but he's a bit faster
How am I gonna make her see
With him one step ahead of me
I guess that I was born to be
A picture of futility
Maybe I don't get her too many flowers
I don't go on for hours
Or leave a mess in the showers
Maybe she just don't like my friends
I'm not her livin' end, I don't do well with pretend
Maybe I should ask her, or am I headed for disaster
I always wished I could catch her,
but he's a bit faster...
