The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it
I'm in love with the girl of my best friend


Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh I can't help it
I'm in love with the girl of my best friend


I want to tell her
How I love her so
And hold her in my arms but then
What if she got real mad
And told him so
I could never face either one again


Oh the way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend


Never end, will it ever end ....
Please let it end
Will it ever end

[D]The way she [Bm]walks, [A7][D]the way she [Bm]talks,[A7]
