I never felt at home in that second floor apartment
And you never felt at home with me
I'm counting the stairs as I'm on my way up to you
And I can guess what you're going to say 'cause I was gonna say it soon
I can't stop staring at the off-white carpet
'Cause I know that it's probably the last time I'll see it
He'll take you for dinner on Friday night
And he'll tell you you look so pretty in the moonlight
And I'm not your carbon copy gentleman
And I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
I'm sorry if you found me a little too negative
And I'm sorry if sometimes I find it hard to live
Now that you've gone and got what you need get on your way
Apparently I'm not all that hard to replace
He'll take you for dinner on Friday night
And he'll tell you you look so pretty in the moonlight
And I'm not your carbon copy gentleman
And I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
I hope there was truth in all of those things that you said
Don't pull your punches, I can take it, you know that I can
Why don't you go run and tell all of your friends
That I'm not your carbon copy gentleman
I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
No I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
I'm not your carbon copy gentleman
And I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
He'll take you for dinner on Friday night
And he'll tell you you look so pretty in the moonlight
No I'm not your carbon copy gentleman
And I'm not gonna tell you we'll be alright in the end
In the end
