A Real Close Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think you know a real close friend of mine
The girl that you described sounds so familiar
The one you say you've loved for quite some time
Are you sure there's no mistake for I have a feeling
That your real love's a real close friend of mine
Well I am glad we've had this little talk together
For at last I began to see the light
I've been spending many lonely nights here lately
All because of that real close friend of mine
(I think you know a real close friend of mine)
Well I'll bet she says each day her love grows stronger
And if you left she'd surely lose her mind
And if she ever makes you feel unwanted
Then I think you know a real close friend of mine
Yes I am glad we've had this little talk together...
All because of a real close friend of mine
