lyrics

a) You’re my good friend.
Just like a brother to me.
b) But I am not
And don’t want to be.
a) I’d like your help
To find another boyfriend for me.
b) What kind of deal is that?
The last thing I want to see.

a) We walk the town.
After all, you know we’re good friends.
b) Times like these,
I wish I knew you less.
a) Hours on the phone,
I tell you about my life problems.
b) Don’t mind at all.
If only I was one of them.

b) When will I learn that life is cruel?
My friends tell me that I’m a fool.
I should have known you’re not for me.
There’s other fish out in the sea.

c) You’re my good friend.
Just like a sister to me.
a) That’s not where I’m at,
Not where I want to be.
c) I’d like your help
To find another girl for me.
a) What kind of deal is that?
The last thing I want to see.

a, b) When will I learn that life is cruel?
My friends tell me that I’m a fool.
I should have known you’re not for me.
There’s other fish out in the sea.

a, c) I know your need.
Meet my good friends.
a, b) I’m paranoid.
Are they your secret agents?

a. b. c) Why oh why do you feel for me this way?
Another turn of the winless game we play and play and play and
play.
