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

    (Here she comes again)
    When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
    Oo, 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-irl
    But she used to be mine

    You've got your nuclear boots
    And your drip dry glove
    Oo 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-irl
    And she used to be mine
    She's so fine

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

    (Here she comes again)
    When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
    (Here she comes again)
    Oh, she'll make you 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, uh
    She's my best friend's girl-irl-uh-irl
    She used to be mine
    She's 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
