[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about a friend,
She con - tends she will always love me------,
It s this a - bility to lie, and de - ceive,
That has lost me com - pletely---------!
[Verse 2]
La - la, la - la! La - la, la, la - la------------!
La - la, la - la! La - la, la, la - la------------!
[Verse 3]
I could re - mind her of the facts,
Make her calm down, and re - lax,
But, ...why bother?
It s the shallowest de - fense,
To my utter astonish - ment,
It is over----------!
[Verse 4]
That little girl, she wants to leave me-------,
That little girl, wants something more---------,
I m opti - mistically in - clined,
Given time, she ll change her mind,
It s ...un - likely---------!
[Verse 5]
Let me tell you about a friend,
She con - tends she will always love me---------,
If you look at her sideways,
She will let you know---------!
[Verse 6]
To - day s the day the earth stole heaven,
(Stole heaven!)
If you look at her sideways,
She will curse you out!
[Verse 7]
To - day s the day the earth stole heaven,
(Stole heaven!)
If you look at her sideways,
There can be no doubt-------, it s over!
