La regola dell'amico

I don’t get what you do
when you show up around us
all my friends disappear and come to you
sitting next to you
next to your hair that
has that scent
is it the shampoo or is it you that gives off
all of this? Everyone here is trying
they’re waiting for a sign from you
and in the meantime, they hope
that from your being a friend
something will spark, but
they forget
the natural law that
the friend zone rule never fails
if you’re friends with a woman
you’ll never get anywhere
never "you wouldn’t want
to ruin such a nice relationship."
You talk and everyone listens
you laugh and everyone laughs
it’s a competition to see who can please you more
while you
play and tease a little
but you never go too far
at the peak, you leave
alone and leave everyone like this
to stew because
"she listened to someone else
not giving a damn about me
but tomorrow I’ll buy her a drink and then
I’ll be alone with her…"
they can’t understand that
the friend zone rule never fails
if you’re friends with a woman
you’ll never get anywhere
never "you wouldn’t want
to ruin such a nice relationship."
The friend zone rule: just because,
you’re friends, you won’t get
anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
never "I could never see you
as a girlfriend!"
I see the flashes of hate that
everyone’s throwing at you
while you’re walking in
hand in hand with him
who maybe doesn’t have
our charm
but I see he knows
where to put his hands
here the comments rain down
"what the hell does he have to do with her?
what an idiot, I know
he’ll make her suffer
instead I’d be
the right guy for her
they can’t understand that
the friend zone rule never fails
if you’re friends with a woman
you’ll never get anywhere
never "you wouldn’t want
to ruin such a nice relationship."
The friend zone rule: just because,
you’re friends, you won’t get
anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
never "I could never see you
as a girlfriend!"
