Lyrics to Girl Of My Best Friend
Lyrics to the song Girl Of My Best Friend as recorded by Bryan Ferry.
(Ross/Bobrick)
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long I 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 'n never end
No I can't help it I'm 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 once again
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
Never end
Girl Of My Best Friend
