| Lyrics by | Danny O'Brien |
Of a close friend, a companion, of a confidant or two
Reveals a certain drama or, more accurately, trauma
I'm a sleepless knight who doesn't know what to do
Now I know that I'm alone
When I hear another voice in the background on the phone
Masquerading as an innocent houseguest
Innocuously renting out a room and a bed
Although she thinks he's heaven-sent, it's evident he's malevolent
Like a penguin with a glove on his head
How am I supposed to save the day
When she doesn't even realize what she's throwing away?
Something's going wrong with my story
Because the perfect number's only two
When the princess is in love with the villain
What's a good guy supposed to do?
What's a good guy supposed to do?
The reasons for this never have been clear to me
But now it's clear as day that our status is unclear
She says she needs some time alone,
But when he's there, she's not alone
I guess to her "alone" just means "not here"
The boy is dangerous, it's easy to see
They all sense it, master, why can't she?
Something's going wrong with my story
Because the perfect number's only two
When the princess is in love with the villain
What's a good guy supposed to do?
In with the new and out with the old
This shining armor never felt so cold
He wants to tie her to the tracks
And she just tells me, "Oh, relax"
What do you do when the damsel has confessed
That she likes the distress?
When did everything become so complicated?
Did she mean to let herself be manipulated?
Is she saying that our friendship is terminated?
Does she want to be congratulated?
It'll be strange, but I guess we're going to stay
The way we are right now right up until it's time for us to say
"Good luck with everything you do and don't you ever change"
And I can't let myself believe that this fairy-tale will end well
I think that maybe I've watched too much "Saved By the Bell"
Something's going wrong with my story
Because the perfect number's only two
When the princess is in love with the villain
What's a good guy supposed to do?
I guess I'll ride off into the sunset
Fight myself a windmill or two
When the princess is in love with a penguin in a glove
What's a good guy supposed to do?
What's a hero supposed to do?
What's a true friend to do?
