Someone said they left together
I ran out the door to get her
She was holding hands with Trevor
Not the greatest feeling ever
Said, "Pull yourself together
You should try your luck with Heather"
Then I heard they slept together
Oh, the less I know the better
The less I know the better
Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side
No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind
Don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind
So goodbye
She said, "It's not now or never
Wait 10 years, we'll be together"
I said, "Better late than never
Just don't make me wait forever"
Don't make me wait forever
Don't make me wait forever
Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind
I was doing fine without ya
'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
Giving in to all his bullshit
Is this what you want, is this who you are?
I was doing fine without ya
'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

Nice groove on this! I still like their early stuff best, but I can appreciate the evolution of Kevin Parker's vision. One of the best shows I've ever seen was seeing these guys ROCK The Boulder Theater in late 2014. White Denim was the opener. We were all on another plane...
No luck with Heather, I suppose?

first time hearing this and wouldn't have guessed it was these guys.

This song is SO GOOOOOOD !
(William may you reconsider try again to play the song "Let It Happen" from the same album ?)

Great to hear this on RP. The video's a bit naughty, mind 
Catchy song but the lyrics make me want to punch the guy and say, "Don't be such a goddamned doormat."
Thank you William and Alanna! I love Tame Impala, and hope to hear more. I've heard other versions of this song, which I prefer, but I'll take any dose of TI...is this the first TI song played on RP? Folks better recognize and get those ratings up...just sayin'.
It's right proper pop bass playing. And he does all the instrumentation himself!
