Sometimes It Hurts To Be A Friend

(альбом: Every 1's A Winner - 1978)

How long must I wait for you
Will it be forever?
Before you see the light of love that shines
How long?

Baby I've loved you
Since I was just about so high
Ever since I can remember
You've been the one

My heart desired and I watched you cried a river
So many times before
Each time someone breaks your heart
You come running to me for sympathy
How long?

Must I wait for you?
Will it be forever?
Before you see the light of love that shines
How long?

Sometimes it hurts to be a friend
Sometimes I just can't take it
Being in love with you
When you just don't see me that way
Sometimes babe it hurts so bad
Sometimes darling it hurts so bad

And how many times have I wanted you
Like a man wants a woman
And you've laughed it off
And made me feel a fool who needed you
How many times?

Have you been in the arms of someone new
And when you've given it all
And he turns you out
You come to me for sympathy
How long?

Must I go on
Giving love to you
When all you do is play around with this heart of mine
How long?

Sometimes it hurts to be a friend
Sometimes I just can't take it
Being in love with you
When you just don't see me that way
Sometimes babe it hurts so bad
Sometimes darling it hurts so bad

Sometimes it hurts so bad
