Hey man come on over here
Let me play some of nothin' for your ears.
Well I sat down and listened to him
Say love keeps getting in the way.
How many times will I fall in love with a girl that was my friend
You see love is a hole in the middle of my heart
Like a well that has no end
And I said...
[Chorus:]
Oh yeah I know what you mean
Cause a friend in love is a friend in need
There's a soul out there that yours wants to find
Set your spirit free and I said
Oh yeah I know what you mean
Cause a friend in love is a friend in need
She said hey man come on lets go
Let me tell you about something that you don't know.
Well I paced the floor and listened to her say
Love keeps getting in the way.
How many times will I fall in love with a boy who was my friend
You see love is a pole that blocks the door with a key
The boy can't lend and I said.
[Chorus]
And I tried to find some reason why I know our love is better
But I've been sinkin', I've been sinkin'.
Well I tried to find a corner in my mind leave it all behind
But I've been thinkin', I've been thinkin'.
We can put it all together babe, we've got plenty of time
I remember sittin' 'neath the stars, talkin' 'bout love in a broken down car.
He said what are we gonna do we've lost our way
And love keeps gettin' in the way.
Well I replied to the question on his face
Said love's not a time or convenient place.
You got rocks in you're shoes you gotta fly if its love
There is no question why he said.
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've been sinkin'
I've been sinkin' babe
I've been sinkin'
I've been sinkin' baby
