Best Friend

Oh, I remember on the 4th of July
That's when I learned it was true
The stories of taboo
How could you do it
If your love was true
And still want to be in my life
And make no sacrifice
Now you come and tell me that you're really sorry
And ask to be in my life again
Oh, no there's no way to begin or start love over
Oh, no lovemaking will there be here tonight
Woo, oh don't you sigh
Or come cryin' on my shoulder
Should've thought about the consequences then
You and my best friend
Oh, I recall the pain it hurt so bad
I didn't have the strength to live
But I was just too young to die
See I have had my heart broken before
But never like this
I admit it baby left me feeling scorned
Now the love inside my heart is fading
The trust of my man and my best friend betrayed
Oh, no baby, there's no way to begin or start love over
Oh, no lovemaking will there be here tonight
Woo, oh don't you sigh
Or come cryin' on my shoulder
Should've thought about the consequences then, you and my best friend
How could you do that to me
And tell me that our love would always be
Always be
There's no way to begin or start love over (no, no, no, no, no way, no way, oh)
Oh, no lovemaking, oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight
Woo, oh don't you sigh (I never ever want to see you sigh)
Or come cryin' on my shoulder
Should've thought about the consequences then
You and my best friend
There's no way to begin or start love over (baby, baby, I ain't taking you back, oh no)
Oh, no lovemaking will there be here tonight, baby
Woo, oh don't you sigh (oh, no more holding hands)
Or come cryin' on my shoulder (walking through the park, boy, oh no boy)
Should've thought about the consequences then
You and my best friend
Oh, what a friend
Friend, baby
