Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Over by the window

There's a pack of cigarettes

Not my brand, you understand

Sometimes the girl forgets

[Verse 2]

She forgets to hide them

I know who left those smokes behind

She'll say, oh, he's just a friend

And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind to

[Verse 3]

Him, him, him

What's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to do without him

Or do without

Me, me, me

No one gets to get it for free

It's me or it's him

[Verse 4]

Don't know what he looks like

Don't know who he is

Don't know why, she thought that I

Would say what's mine is his

[Verse 5]

I don't want to own her

But I can't let her have it both ways

Three is one too many of us

She leaves with me, or stays with

[Verse 6]

Him, him, him

What's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to do without him

Or do without

Me, me, me

No one gets to get it for free

It's me or it's him

[Verse 7]

Oh-ooh oh oh oh-ooh ooh

Oh-ooh oh oh oh-ooh ooh

Oh-oh-oh ooh

Oh-oh-oh ooh

Oh-oh-oh oh-ooh-oh oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

[Verse 8]

If she wants to, she can have him

Just exactly how we once were

It's goodbye to he and I

Back to me and her without

[Verse 9]

Him, him, him

What's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to do without him

Or do without

Me, me, me

No one gets to get it for free

Time for me to make the girl see

It's me or it's

[Verse 10]

Him, him, him

What's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to do without him

Or do without

Me, me, me

No one gets to get it for free

Time for me to make the girl see

It's me or it's him
