Once I sung and I told everyone about you And they laughed and they told me I'd never win And I struck my best friend for saying that you Were just a playgirl, taking me in Please be my friend Just forget what I've done and let's start again Soon the folks that I knew came to see me no more They said that I'd fallen in deep with you Now I hear them all walking right by my door But I love you girl, what can I do? Please be my friend Just forget what I've done, let me make amends My old friend, he stopped me in the road one day And he looked so despairing into my eyes I just turned and walked home, 'cause I couldn't see That my love she was telling me lies Please be my friend Just forget what I've done, we can start again Well, I woke up one morning, my head was so light And I heard someone knocking upon my door And my old friend stood there, with her by his side And I knew it was ending for sure Oh, please be my friend Let's forget what you've done, we can start again Oh, please be my friend Let's forget what we've done now, let's start again Oh, please be my friend Let's forget what we've done now, let's start again
