Somebody Else's Guy
Jennifer Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stop thinking about him
He's like Romeo meets Mr. Nice
All wrapped up in one man
The sweetest face I've ever seen
I loved the way he smiled at me
He's everything I hoped to find
And he's somebody else's guy
Yeah, I guess somebody's a lucky girl
I'm sad to say it's not me
But I bet he means the world to her
And I wouldn't steal a man that's not free
I have to constantly remind myself
That he belongs to someone else
I can't keep dreaming someday he'll be mine
'Cause he's somebody else's guy
I don't know why I feel this way about him
I have no right
The right one is so hard to find
And finally after all this time
I can't believe he walks into my life
And he's somebody else's guy
