    You thought you were my best friend, but I don't wonder why
    I never felt too comfortable around you, but I lied
    There was something about the way you touched me late at night
    It made me want to forget the fact that something wasn't right
    But I just don't know what's happening to me anymore
    And I feel like bad people play some part
    I can't pretend anymore
    I'm just beside myself
    I'd like to talk to you, I'd like to touch your mind
    I'd like to run my fingers over your design
    Sometimes I even like the lying and the pain
    And all the agony that goes with this old game
    But when you say you love me, something doesn't jive
    And I feel like bad people play some part
    I can't pretend anymore
    I'm just beside myself

    So who has any of these tapes? Danny? Former label people? These are so obviously deserving of a remaster and re-release. If any Boingo alum happen to read this - please!

      As far as we know Danny has some on tape but not all of them. He says he dislikes his Boingo days so I doubt he'll ever release or give them to someone for remastering.

      I can agree with this.. there are literally only two bad songs "Bachelor Party" And "Something Isn't Right"
      I'll admit that Something Isn't Right definitely goes harder than Bachelor Party though

    i cannot believe this was voted worst song from GFYS on an oingo boingo discord server i joined (and left) 😭this song is SO good. also today i learned the album art for GFYS was illustrated by Lane Smith, which didn't ring any bells, so I looked him up and learned he illustrated "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!" i was like WHHAATTT? we read that in elementary!

      @@slimitationsI’m not sure if this is true. I think Tim and Danny met before Pee Wee’s Big Adventure for the first time. Since the movie came out in 1985, I would assume they met around 1984. If they did meet in 1983, I doubt Elfman would write such a negative song about him that early into their friendship
