Back Burner Guy

[Verse 1]
I've got a boyfriend, everything's great
But it could fall through if you're willing to wait
Cheatin' on him is somethin' I don't do
But there's room in my life for a guy like you

[Bridge 1]
Even though I've got a man
I've gotta have a backup plan

[Chorus 1]
Won't you be my back burner guy?
When he won't sleep we can meet on the fly
He's number 1, but you're number 2
Won't you be my back burner dude?

[Verse 2]
You'll always have a place in my heart
We can talk about books, we can talk about art
If things go wrong like they sometimes do
I can drop kick him, 'cause I've got you

[Bridge 2]
It'd feel pretty nice
To have a guy like you on ice (whoa, whoa)

[Chorus]
Won't you be my back burner guy?
You'll never kiss me, so don't even try
Don't wanna cheat just wanna know I can
Won't you be my back burner man?

[Post-Chorus bridge]
When I'm feeling insecure I'll call
You can stroke my ego, but that's all

[Horn instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When he's distant, when he comes in late
I'll still know that you think that I'm great
When I've got you it's a funny thing
I won't be neurotic, I won't have to cling
As long as you know that you lust after me
I can be the girl he wants me to be

[Chorus]
Won't you be my back burner guy?
The position's yours if you wanna apply
You're more than a friend, you're a backup plan
Won't you be my back burner man?

[Outro]
Won't you be my back burner guy?
Won't you be my back burner guy?
Won't you be my back burner guy?
Won't you be my back burner guy?
