You told me boy look the other way

You told me boy bite your tongue

Yes that's not the way,

Yeah that's not the way

Ah that's not the way that friends behave

Ah that's just not the way that friends behave

Oh no, no, no

No, no, no, no

You lined me up

Across the room

Two falling sparks

One willing fool

And I, I always knew

That I would love you from afar

You told me boy look the other way

You told me boy hide those hands

But I've been living on the crumbs of your love

And I'm starving now

And that is the way that we remain

Ah that will be the way that we remain

Oh, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

You lined me up

Across the room

Two falling sparks

One willing fool

And I, I always knew

That I would love you from afar

You lined me up

Across the room

Two falling sparks

One willing fool

And I, I always knew

That I would love you from afar

It shouldn't come as a surprise

What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now

It shouldn't come as a surprise

She got darling hazel eyes

It shouldn't come as a surprise

What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now

What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now

What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now

What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
