lyrics

You’re my good friend, you’re like a brother to me.
But I am not and don’t want to be.
I’d like your help to find another boyfriend for me.
What kind of deal is that? That’s the last thing I want to see.

Whoa – oa … Whoa – oa …

We walk the town; after all, you know we’re good friends.
Times like these, I wish I knew you less.
Hours on the phone, I tell you all of my life problems.
Don’t mind at all; if only I were one of them.

Whoa – oa … Whoa – oa …

Person B All 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.

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

Whoa – oa … Whoa – oa …

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.

I know your need. Meet my good friends.
I’m paranoid. Are they your secret agents?

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