It boggles my mind that this song isn't more well known. I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever written.

I close my eyes and I’m back in 1980 . My Lord times were so much better. I was in the 10th grade. No bills, just living life.

[suestabile]

I can listen to this song
over & over & over...
and I do!🎵🎵🎵

[hellomyfriend]

Never tire of this song!!! Always liked it more than "Pina Colada." What a chorus!

[timtraver]

Thank God we have YouTube so we can relive our childhood whenever we want...

[fluidwings]

He captured the pain of betrayal well.

2023 and this song is as fresh as ever, perfect blend of vocals, strings, bass and beat, I have always loved Rupert's

[tonycevallos]

Summer of 1980 and I was a young 51 yr old US Marine stationed in Okinawa. Just hearing this takes me back. Why does time pass so fast??

[mandystoklasa]

What a great song. They don't make songs like this anymore

[chrissymiller]

I'll never get tired of this song.

[mmttomb]

Vocals, tone and range of harmonies are outstanding. Very underrated song.

[butterfly]

One of my dad’s fav songs. Listening to it now…2 weeks since his passing. Miss him so much.

April 22, 2020. This is the best from Rupert Holmes hands down.

[willyandmarneyhauiti]

This guy is an unsung hero. This is by far my favorite of all his songs. A legend!

[miked]

This song is proof that the best songs were released between 1954-2000. Rupert is an amazing songwriter who like many others in that era, wrote with feeling, which is why they're smooth and can evoke feelings of joy, fun, warmth, love & on occasions sadness for love lost. That feeling on songwriting is what's missing in songs nowadays, which is why songs like this will still be around hundreds of years from now, while vapid crappy songs like WAP won't be.

I was 12 years old when this song came out, I didn’t understand it completely, but i miss those times when I was naive and innocent. Now at 54 I’m listening this again with bittersweet nostalgia. Thank you for posting!

[gsentinel]

It's always frustrating to me that they always seem to play the "Piña Colada " song on the radio but never this song, which is far superior.

[Daisypetal]

My favorite Rupert Holmes song. I love it. Thumbs up.

[andyhutchinson]

Who's listening to this in 2021? I love this song!! 😀

[V1]
Over by the window, there's a pack of cigarettes
Not my brand, you understand
Sometimes the girl forgets
She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, "ah, he's just a friend"
And I'll say, "oh, I'm not blind"
[Chorus]
To Him, Him, Him, what's she gonna do about Him?
She's gonna have to do without Him
Or do without Me, Me, Me
No one gets to get it for free
It's Me or it's Him
[V2]
Don't know what he looks like
Don't know who he is
Don't know why she thought that I
Would say what's mine is his
I don't want to own her
But I can't let her have it both ways
Three is one too many of us
She leaves with me or stays

[Chorus]
With Him, Him, Him, what's she gonna do about Him?
She's gonna have to do without Him
Or do without Me, Me, Me
No one gets to get it for free
It's Me or it's Him
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If she wants him, she can have him
Just exactly how we once were
It's goodbye to he and I
And back to me and her
Without

[Chorus/Coda]
Him, Him, Him, what's she gonna do about Him?
She's gonna have to do without Him
Or do without Me, Me, Me
No one gets to get it for free
Time for me to make the girl see
It's Me or it's Him, Him, Him
What's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without Me, Me, Me
No one gets to get it for free
Time for me to make the girl see
It's Me or it's Him.
