lyrics

Girls make good friends.
Boys make a lot of mistakes
Or else we’re just mistaken.
Just when I predict what they intend
Is when my crystal ball breaks
And all my time’s forsaken.

For the longest time I thought there was love to find
But after ten long years I have lost far too many tears-
Yes, I thought this through- bidding the old me adieux
Saving myself a lot of strife if I can stay single for the rest of my life…

Please don’t let me fall again- I’m fragile.
Too many breaks, and I can no longer defend.
Please God grant me thicker skin so next time.
I’ll have the strength to say- ‘Can we just be friends?’

I can’t keep them happy for long,
But I try and I try anyway-
Thinking that I’ll learn as I go.
Where do I go wrong?
Where do I go astray?
Will I ever know?

Send every girl away- don’t want to come out to play
Because every time I do, I always come back so blue.
Yes, I know I can wait for another date-
I could just have a lot of friends because that’s how it ends anyway…

Love was just so easy once-
Now it’s just a game.
Thought I could be her lover but
I’ve only myself to blame.
