My Best Friend's Girl

Words & Music:

Ric Ocasek (The Cars)

 

[guitar riff for entire song]

E   A   B  [4x for intro]

 

You're always dancing down the street with your suede blue eyes

And every new boy that you meet, he doesn't know the real surprise

 

CHORUS:

Here she comes again!

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky...

Here she comes again!

Ooo, she'll make you flip!

Here she comes again!

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky...

Here she comes again!

I kinda like the way she dips.

A  B                      A      B                      A    B

   She's my best friend's girl.  She's my best friend's girl.

B                  [back to main riff]

And she used to be mine...she's so fine.

 

You've got your nuclear boots and your drip-dry gloves

And when you bite your lip, it's some reaction to love-uh-ove-uh-ove.

 

CHORUS:

 

VERSE 1 REPRISE:

 

CHORUS:

 

My best friend's girl friend.  [repeat as you will and out]
