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 then 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
