Story Behind The Song
Happened to a friend of mine. Oh, the mess! By the way, Mandy was not her real name. I'm paying tribute to Manilow's "Mandy" (see lyrics: "her name's like a song")

The inner turmoil when you meet a really great girl, but you are already dating someone else who is not so great. Oh, the mess!

Lyrics
("Mandy" can be changed to a boy's name for a female singer
e.g. Daniel, Bobby, Billy, Danny, Corey, etc)
Mandy is a girl, her name's like a song
I feel so bad 'cause I'm doing her wrong
But I like her. I think she likes me too.
There's another that I cannot hide
And I feel the guilt burning up inside
And I'm not exactly sure what to do
Mandy is understanding and cool
To lose her I'd be a fool
But the price is causing someone else shame
I would rather take the fall myself
Than to break the heart of someone else
It's a problem and only I'm to blame
Mandy, should we cross that line
Mandy, running 'round my mind
Guess I'll have this problem for a long long time
Should we be friends or should we date
I try to move but I hesitate
'cause I'm not exactly sure what we are
I say yes buy maybe no
I shouldn't stay but I won't go
And I hope that I haven't gone too far
But it feels good and it feels right
And she knows that I could stay all night
And I nod my head when she asks me if I'm sure
And in the morning when I wake
I wonder if I made a big mistake
But I smile, though I don't know what for
Mandy, should we cross that line
Mandy, running 'round my mind
Guess I'll have this problem for a long long time
