Who Is He (And What Is He To You)

A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don’t know who he is but I think that you do
Dad-gum-it! Who is he and what is he to you?

Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he’s not someone just passing by
And when you cleared your throat was that your cue?
Dad-gum-it! Who is he and what is he to you?

When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused and keep coming up with three.
You’re too much for one man but not enough for two
Dad-gum-it! Who is he and what is he to you?

You tell me men don’t have much intuition
Is that what you really think or are you wishin’
Before you wreck your old home be certain of the new
Dad-gum-it? Who is he and what is he to you?
