Tekster: Martha Redbone. Boyfriend.

standing in a starbucks line, he was sipping lemonade
he didn't give a damn about all the people or what they said
I ordered my coffee, strong and black and straight
we talked about love and garbage
and he told me that he was gay

I guess it's c'est la vie, guess I should have known
thought i'd found a lover, that's the way life goes
said he'd like to know me, see me once again
maybe we can hang...

chorus
he said i've got a boyfriend
he said i've got a boyfriend, ooh
he said i've got a boyfriend
but I kinda like girls, too...

even all the times we hung out on platonic dates
it was only then that I found out we were true soulmates
I was almost certain that he'd suit me to the tee
til I caught him wearing my dress- and looking better than me


I guess it's c'est la vie, guess I should have known
thought i'd found a lover, that's the way life goes
said he'd like to know me, and his feelings sometimes change
but I thought...what a waste...eh?

chorus

I guess it's c'est la vie, guess I should have known
thought i'd found a lover, that's the way life goes
said he'd like to know me, see me once again
maybe we can hang...

repeat chorus
