I Know I Shouldn’t

[Verse 1]

It's so wrong of me to do so, but I can't help it
This feeling; it's been so long since I last felt it
I want you all to myself like a spoilt child
I've been feeling this way 'bout for a while
The two of us have been friends for so long now
I can't help but feel joy when you're around
And ever since you let me into your world
I've been fantasizing about you being my girl

But a problem prevents me from giving it a try:
You've got yourself a boyfriend by your side
And I can see that he's perfect for your love
A perfect man made for you, sent from above
That's all good, but there's things that I don't understand
Why do I get so jealous when he holds your hand?
If you're not the one, why is that when I'm in bed
It's your name that echoes all around my head?

[Hook]

I could take you from him (but I know I shouldn't)
I could kiss you in private (but I know I shouldn't)
I could make you fall for me (but I know I shouldn't)
I could steal your heart (but I know I shouldn't)

I could make you leave him (but I know I shouldn't)
I could start a few rumours (but I know I shouldn't)
I could lie to you about him (but I know I shouldn't)
I could say that I love you (but I know I shouldn't)

[Verse 2]

I want you, for more than just a one night fling
For you, I really would do anything
I could make you fall for me with such confidence
But if he finds out, there'll be no good consequence
And I do not believe in stealing you from him
Even if the jealousy makes my mood turn dim
So I dream you're my girlfriend, so impeccable
Have fantasies of you, both romantic and sexual

And I know you two may break up eventually
Maybe then, you'll become mine eternally
But I don't want to become his, or your nemesis;
I'd even be content being your friend with benefits
But then I start thinking of you
Maybe you don't feel the same way that I do
After all, maybe you only see me as a best mate
But 'till my chances comes, I guess I'll have to wait

[Hook]
