You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He just doesn't know the real surprise, hey

(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Ooh, she'll make you flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips

She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl
But she used to be mine

You've got your nuclear boots
And your drip dry glove
Ooh when you bite your lip
It's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove

(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Yeah, I think you'll flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

'Cause she's my best friend's girl
Well she's my best friend's girl
And she used to be mine
She's so fine

Always da-dancing down the street
With your suede blue eye-eyes
And every new boy that you meet
Doesn't know the real surprise, yeah

(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Well, here she comes again)
Oh, she'll make you flip
(Oh, here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Yeah, here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

'Cause she's my best friend's girl, uh
She's my best friend's girl-irl uh-irl
She used to be mine
She so, fine

(My best friend's girlfriend) oh
(My best friend's girlfriend)
She used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend) yeah yeah
(My best friend's girlfriend)
Said she used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend) oh, yeah yeah yeah
(My best friend's girlfriend)
She used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend)
(My best friend's girlfriend)

The lyrics to "My Best Friend's Girl" are filled with a catchy and upbeat energy that immediately captures the listener's attention. The use of descriptive language, like "dancing down the street" and "suede blue eyes," creates vivid imagery and adds depth to the song.

The chorus is particularly infectious, with its repetition of "Here she comes again" and the way it builds up to the line "I kinda like the way she dips." The melody perfectly matches the playful tone of the lyrics and makes it easy for listeners to sing along and get caught up in the excitement.

One improvement suggestion would be to add more verses that further explore the emotions and experiences of the narrator. This would add even more depth and provide a more complete picture of the story being told. Additionally, a bridge section could be incorporated to create a dynamic contrast and add further interest to the song structure.

Overall, "My Best Friend's Girl" is a fun and energetic track with a memorable chorus and strong imagery. Some minor adjustments and additions could enhance the narrative and keep listeners engaged from start to finish. Keep up the great work! more »
