Lyrics

Verse

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

Pre-Chorus

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing neath the starry sky

Oo, she'll make you flip

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing neath the starry sky

I kinda like the way she dips

Chorus

She's my best friend's girl

She's my best friend's girl-irl

But she used to be mine

Verse

You've got your nuclear boots

And your drip dry glove

Oo when you bite your lip

Its some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove

Pre-Chorus

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

Yeah, I think you'll flip

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

(here she comes again)

I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

Chorus

'cause she's my best friend's girl

Well she's my best friend's girl-irl

And she used to be mine

She's so fine

Solo (versex7)

Verse

Just-a dancing down the street

With your suede blue eye-eyes

And every new boy that you meet

Doesn't know the real surprise

Pre-Chorus

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

(here she comes again)

Oh, she'll make you flip

(here she comes again)

When she's dancing neath the starry sky

(here she comes again)

I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

Chorus

cause she's my best friend's girl, uh

She's my best friends' girl-irl-u-irl

She used to be mine

She so, fine

Coda (verse x8)

(my best friend's girlfriend)

Oh

(my best friend's girlfriend)

She used to be mine

(my best friend's girlfriend)

Yeah yeah

(my best friend's girlfriend)

Said she used to be mine

(my best friend's girlfriend)

Oh, yeah yeah yeah

(my best friend's girlfriend)

She used to be mine

(my best friend's girlfriend)
