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
