Retro Rewind - Third Wheel in a Three-Way Lyrics

Down at the diner, just the other week
Saw her smilin', my knees went weak
She had a style, oh so chic
And another girl cheek to cheek

I thought, Why not? Let's join the fray
But ended up the surplus in their buffet
Aimed for love, landed in a sitcom
As the third wheel, I felt pretty dumb

I'm the third wheel in a three-way
In their love game, I just can't play
Like a spare tire, I'm tucked away
A third wheel in a three-way

Tried to fit in, be one of the gang
But it's like singin' in a foreign twang
They're speakin' love, I'm outta the loop
In this trio, I'm out of the group

She said, Honey, we're a modern pair
I thought, Great, but why am I here to spare
They're peas in a pod, I'm just the shell
In this love story, where do I dwell

I'm the third wheel in a three-way
An extra in their romantic play
Just a bystander, come what may
A third wheel in a three-way

I bought roses, but they just sniffed the bouquet
Guess flowers don't work in a three-way
Flowers don't work in a three-way

I'm the third wheel in a three-way
Just taggin' along in their relay
In their love race, I'm just astray
A third wheel in a three-way
Third wheel in a three way
Third wheel in a three-way
Third wheel in a three way

As the third wheel, I felt pretty dumb
