Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah
He's not for you, ah-ah-ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah
That's nothin' new ah-ah-ah
With just one thought on his mind
You know he's kind
You shoulda known when you met him or you must be blind

Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried
Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back...... to my side
