Verse 1<\/p>\n
It all started with a simple status
\nI was online when I saw my mate update his
\nTo \u201cFeeling blessed\u201d with a smiley face
\nWhich aroused my suspicions right away
\nNow, I know that you\u2019re probably questioning why?
\nBut he\u2019s the moodiest dude you\u2019ve ever met in your life
\nI mean, this guy could make Eeyore look euphoric
\nSo I knew something was up from the moment I saw it
\nI kept an eye on it for the next few days
\nAnd one by one all the symptoms began to display
\nAnd instead of his typical cynical posts
\nHe was now sharing those inspirational quotes
\nIt was obvious what was occurring
\nWe just had to wait for his status to confirm it
\nAnd the very next day he updated it
\nTo say – you guessed it – \u201cIn relationship\u201d<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t bitter
\nBut I don\u2019t need updates on Facebook and Twitter<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t jealous
\nBut keep it to yourself coz you don\u2019t need to tell us<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
So now it\u2019s official and he\u2019s spreading the word around
\nYou\u2019d have to be a hermit not to have heard by now
\nEven when it\u2019s unrelated
\nCrowbarring \u201cMy new girlfriend\u201d into every conversation
\nLike \u201cDid you hear that celebrity\u2019s dead?\u201d
\n\u201cThat reminds me of something hilarious that she said\u2026\u201d
\nSo we smile and pretend that we care
\nAnd reply \u201cYeah mate, you probably had to be there\u2026\u201d
\nThis is the same guy just to be clear
\nWho\u2019s had the same profile pic for the last 5 years
\nAnd only just now he\u2019s changed it
\nTo a photo of them both on some nauseating day trip
\nHe never used to even go to the shops
\nNow she\u2019s taking him hiking on woodland romps?
\n\u201cMan I thought you said nature was boring\u201d
\n\u201cYeah but she gave me a new appreciation for it\u201d<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t bitter
\nBut I don\u2019t need updates on Facebook and Twitter<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t jealous
\nBut keep it to yourself coz you don\u2019t need to tell us<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a whole week and he thinks she\u2019s a keeper
\nAnd inevitably now he wants me to meet her
\nBut I don\u2019t feel like I need to
\nI know enough already I could write her entry on Wikipedia
\nBut I agree and we go for a meal
\nWhere predictably I feel as if I\u2019m a third wheel
\nWhile they stare lovingly into each other\u2019s eyes
\nI nearly jump out my seat when the drinks arrive (DRINKS ARE HERE!)
\nCoz that\u2019s the only way that I can get through this
\nWhile they sit and giggle like a pair of school kids
\nIt\u2019s cute but it makes me wanna vomit
\nThey\u2019re not calling each other \u201csnookums\u201d yet, but its not far from it
\nBut she\u2019s cool to be perfectly honest
\nI can\u2019t fault her and my mate is completely besotted
\nSo as long as he\u2019s happy that\u2019s the main thing
\nYou just wouldn\u2019t ever catch me acting like that – is all I\u2019m saying\u2026<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t jealous
\nBut keep it to yourself coz you don\u2019t need to tell us<\/p>\n
My mate\u2019s loved up, my mate\u2019s loved up
\nAnd now I can\u2019t wait til my mate shuts up
\nI\u2019m not tryna hate and I sure ain\u2019t bitter
\nBut maybe she\u2019s got a fit mate or a sister?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
