From the recording Amnesia / For Fear of Forgetting
A guitar-driven, jangly, confession of a man-crush on a best friend.
Lyrics
Man Crush
I don’t know why it happened but it happened this way
I have a steady girlfriend I like to date
Never thought of myself as gay, always straight
But be that as it may
Just the other day
I was mucking about with my best friend
We were drinking our fill ‘til the money was spent
Not sure what happened next
Oh no!
Thought he went
But we woke up in the same bed
You what?
Oh gosh!
I’ve got a crush!
I kissed my best friend and I made him blush!
Oh my, oh my!
Now you know why
I’ve got a man crush on a guy
I tried my best to be normal
And gave him a call
Pretend it never happened, we had dreamt it all
I blamed it on the cocktails
Particularly the gin
But now I cannot stop myself from thinking of him
Just imagine how surprised was I
When he turned around and told me liked guys
He said nothing could ever come between us
Now I’m left with a terrible man crush
Know what?
Oh gosh!
I’ve got a crush!
I kissed my best friend and I made him blush!
Oh my, oh my!
Now you know why
I’ve got a man crush on a guy
Do I need to rethink who I am?
Is this a phase or am I bi?
Should I contemplate what this could mean?
Is this just fleeting or is it really me?
Know what?
Oh gosh!
I’ve got a crush!
I kissed my best friend and I made him blush!
Oh my, oh my!
Now you know why
I’ve got a man crush on a guy
But I rather like him
I la-la-like him
But I rather like him
I la-la-like him
But I rather like him
I la-la-like him
But I rather like him
I la-la-like him
