Lyrics

For so long I've thought of all that I could do
to make you feel about me like I feel for you
but you found someone else to keep you company
and he's fast becoming everything I want to be

There he stands beside you where I ought to be
He'll look at you and say I do so lovingly
he'll place the band right on your hand so tenderly
he's fast becoming everything I want to be

It hurts so much for me to see you standing there
knowing that you never knew ho much I care
then I see you smile at him so lovingly
oh he's fast becoming everything I want to be
Yes he's fast becoming all I want to be.
