[Intro]
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
But it's good to see your face
And I really hope you're doin' well
I hope you're doin' well
(Here we go)
(One, two, one, two, three)
[Verse 1]
She was runnin' late for dinner, South side of town
Left the phone a little bitter, but it's cool for now
Far from perfect for each other, but we're workin' it out, I suppose (I suppose)
Now I'm waiting at the diner, looking traumatized
'Cause you walk up to the table with an order of fries
And I know ya, yes, I know ya, used to love you (Used to love you)
And I said
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
It's good to see your face
And I really hope you're doin' well
I hope you're doin' well
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
I wish that I could stay
And talk at the bar all by ourselves
But I'm here for someone else

[Post-Chorus]
(Come on, what happened next, Benny?)
(Yeah, come on)
[Verse 2]
When she finally walks into the restaurant
Hate to say it, but I knew it, I was already gone
Oh, Benny, don't do it, you're breakin' her heart
Benny, don't do it, Benny, don't do it
[Pre-Chorus]
But I need to go (I need to, I need to, I need to)
It's not personal
When I say
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
It's good to see your face
And I really hope you're doin' well
I hope you're doin' well
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
I know you wish that I could stay
And talk at the bar all by ourselves
But I'm here for someone else
[Bridge]
I'm still in love with you
I'm goin' outta my mind (Hey, hey, hey!)
[Outro]
I couldn't take it anymore
I was already runnin' for the kitchen doors
You were always the one I shoulda waited for
I can't lose you again, not again, not again, not again
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
But it's good to see your face
And I really hope you're doin' well
I hope you're doin' well
(Here we go)
(One, two, one, two, three)
[Verse 1]
She was runnin' late for dinner, South side of town

It's good to see your face
And I really hope you're doin' well
I hope you're doin' well
I'm sorry, I'm here for someone else
I wish that I could stay
And talk at the bar all by ourselves
