Dan, how can I be your best man? When I’ve been trying all that I can To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Pal, how can you trust me with a ring? When I’ve been doing everything To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you
You took me for a drink on Sunday We've known each other for a long, long time You're gonna pop the question Monday Following a meal and a bottle of wine You saw the perfect place on Friday You said, “I’m just waiting for the perfect time Oh, I hope, I hope That she’s prepared To make an honest man of me”
I just sat there, shaking With a little secret of my own Constantly contemplating Could it be the time for me to atone? My mind and my heart were debating Was there a chance that he might even know? I don’t know, I don’t know But it’s too far down the road, now And I can’t just let it go
Dan, how can I be your best man? When I’ve been trying all that I can To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Pal, how can you trust me with a ring? When I’ve been doing everything To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you
I thought about the implications Just trying to let it fade away What about the situation Seeing it through to the wedding day Well there ain’t a working equation It’s me with the ring, her with the bouquet Well, okay, oh okay But this is gonna hurt us both now
I could feel the whole thing coming I bottled up my feelings deep inside I felt I had to just say something Like telling the groom I’m in love with the bride And that’s when I felt like running But I couldn’t tell the truth and besides So, I know, oh I know That it’s too far down the road now And I can’t just let it go
I said Dan How can I be your best man? When I’ve been trying all that I can To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Pal, how can you trust me with a ring? When I’ve been doing everything To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
Dan, how can I be your best man? When I’ve been trying all that I can To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Pal, how can you trust me within? When I’ve been doing everything To get your woman, Dan Get her to leave you
