lyrics

You always were the one who liked to brag at school
about how you weren’t afraid to break the rules
but it’s obvious you never were the sharpest tool.
No you never really made the cut.
Always boasting about your luck - believing we believed you.

But who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
Who’d be the one to make that call?
Who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
No one really wants to be your friend at all.

Posing in the mirror you’re a right sight to behold.
Dressed to kill you’re killing us with all the fibs you’ve told.
Not being cool’s not cool but being too cool’s just cold.
No you never really made the grades,
no matter how dark your shades - it’s easy to see through you.

And who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
Who’d be the one to take that call?
Who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
No one really wants to be your friend at all.

There must have been a time when you might have stood a chance.
A place where someone might have thought about romance.
A look you had worth a second glance.
Now it’s hard to see in any circumstance

who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
Who’d be the one to fake that call?
Who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?

Imaginary friends, imaginary lives,
don’t need much imagination, nor do your blatant lies.
The tangled webs you weave, deceptions you contrive
aren’t clever or funny, disturb the way you see,
make sure no one would ever

want to be your millionth girlfriend?
Who’d be the one to fake that call?
Who’d want to be your millionth girlfriend?
No one really wants to be your friend at all.
