I’m the afterthought
Mr. Plus One
Available whenever she needs me
Just not on her mind
Hoping someday she might care for me
That really, she’d be mine

I’m always available
That I know she knows
I’m investing in our future
So I tell myself
That’s the way it goes
I’ll deceive my precious heart
If I must
Indeed, my love grows

I not giving up
No how, no way
I’ve got a hunch
She’s heading my way
Until then I’ll accompany her
Proud to be at her side
Believing that someday
We’ll go on that long ride
