There's this friend of mine

Been doing time with the same girlfriend
That he's had for far too many of his days



It seems with each passing second
Her brain lets loose
The one screw which holds back the rage




Then she screams again, cries again

And it loosens a little more

It's much more than a single soul can take
And when it goes again tonight

Well, we all know who she'll blame


This friend of mine called last week



On a payphone not too far from where he stays

It seems she lost her mind again that night



'Cause she screams at him each night

Then she runs to him each day

And I just wouldn't feel right


If I looked the other way


CHORUS:

So that's one for reality


But you didn't hear that from me

'Cause I'll only say it's not true

Let me add one more indecency
With absolute necessity

That she never claimed to be true

Neither did you



Break up time again

And my sister calls on the phone

To ask my humble opinion

Of just what's going on



I said you scream at him each night

Then you run to him each day

And I just wouldn't feel right

If I look the other way




CHORUS


I hear her side and I hear his
I was on the outside, now I'm in this


My one word answer could come between them

My sister is crying, 'cause I can't decide (REPEAT)





CHORUS
