There's lots of kinds of people in this world and I'm, well, I'm not like other girls How do I explain this properly? My boyfriend's girlfriend isn't me
Well obviously one of them is But there's another girl of his And I know her and she knows me and that would be great if it was just us three
But she has a guy who's even more pretty and a long-distance thing in another city He and his wife come by when they can and they have a kid who calls me his aunt
Just when I thought it was all too crazy I tried to draw our family tree There's nothing wrong with extra love But the paper wasn't big enough
Chorus: Of all the ways I've ever dated it's never been so complicated The chain can extend to eternity 'cause my boyfriend's girlfriend isn't me
We spent Christmas eve with my boyfriend's dad Christmas day with my folks and the feast they had New Years, he went to his girlfriend's city I mean the one who isn't me
She brought him and her other guy to her company picnic and I won't lie I wasn't used to being alone so I want someone new of my own
It isn't easy to find a fling 'Cause when you hit on some tasty thing They say "Aren't you with that guy?" You say "Oh he doesn't mind.
Have you ever seen 'Big Love'? Know what I mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge..." And they say "Oh, so you're a Mormon?" "No! ...I'll explain from the beginning..."
Chorus
When the partners get together, the primaries and all the others, we give the newbies a little primer and we all get out our day timers
Calendars as far as the eye can see. "When can I see you?" "When are you free?" "Who gets me on my birthday?" and then "Does anyone have an extra pen?"
The kids have the best celebration. Gifts from three dozen odd relations. There's Uncle Jackie's girlfriend, Mary, Ed who is her secondary...
Ed's new boyfriend brought along his ex, whose fling is going strong with someone that I used to know and just became my boyfriend's beau...
Chorus
A couch where four can snuggle up Suddenly isn't big enough And even so we don't give up. There's no such thing as too much love.
