Because a guy I used to know 
Is returning now to show 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 
I guess we were never going to be friends 
I've never really liked people that are too right on 
Mind you, I'd love to turn my back on everything I've preached for years 
I bet that's a right laugh 

Because a guy I used to know 
Is returning now to show 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 
And no you can't come back to mine 
Because I know that you will find 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 

You were funny the other night 
You were just name dropping 
Talking about scene hopping 
Dreaming of chart topping 
I remember, just before I walked away 
Wondering to myself 
How someone that lives so much of their lives through other people 
Could possible have so much to say 

Because a guy I used to know 
Is returning now to show 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 
And no you can't come back to mine 
Because I know that you will find 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 

You know, your scene has got a lot to answer for 
Like all these clued up arseholes 
Trying to set us and Wakefield at war 

You know it's not right but it's something you like 

Because a guy I used to know 
Is returning now to show 
That the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me 
And no you can't come back to mine 
But you will always blow my mind 
Yeah the wrong way to be 
Is rubbing off on me
