Lyrics
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can’t help I’m in love
With the girl of my best friendHer lovely hair
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh, I can’t help I’m in love
With the girl of my best friendI want to tell her
How I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either one againThe way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend?
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend?Never end
Will it ever end?
Please let it end
