(I think you know a real close friend of mine) The girl that you described sounds so familiar The one you say you've loved for quite some time Are you sure there's no mistake for I have a feeling That your real love's a real close friend of mine Well I am glad we've had this little talk together For at last I began to see the light I've been spending many lonely nights here lately
All because of that real close friend of mine (I think you know a real close friend of mine) Well I'll bet she says each day her love grows stronger And if you left she'd surely lose her mind And if she ever makes you feel unwanted Then I think you know a real close friend of mine Yes I am glad we've had this little talk together... All because of a real close friend of mine
