[D]The way she [Bm]walks, [A7][D]the way she [Bm]talks,[A7]
[D]how long can [Bm]I pre[A]tend? Oh [G]I can't [A]help it,
I'm in [D]lo[Bm]ve with the [G]girl of [Em]my best [A7]friend.
[D]Her lovely [Bm]hair, [A7][D]her skin so [Bm]fair,[A7]
[D]I could go [Bm]on 'n never [A]end. Oh [G]I can't [A]help it,
I'm in [D]lo[Bm]ve with the [G]girl of [Em]my best [D]friend.[D7]
[G]I want to [A7]tell her how I [D]love her [Bm]so,
and [Em7]hold her [A7]in my arms, but [D]then,[D7]
[G]what if she [A7]got real mad and [D]told him [Bm]so,
I could [E7]never face either one a[A7]gain. Uh huh huh.
[D]The way they [Bm]kiss, [A7][D]their happi[Bm]ness,[A7]
[D]will my achein' [Bm]heart ever [A]mend, or [G]will I [A]always
be in [D]lo[Bm]ve with the [G]girl of [Em]my best [D]friend.[Bm][A7][D]
Never [Bm]end,[A7]
[D]will it ever [Bm]end,[A7]
[D]please let it [Bm]end.[A7][D]
