Well this old picture is so faded you can hardly see

And that smiling face there in the middle well you can see it's me

And that pretty girl there on my left was mine to hold so tight

But I lost her to my friend there on the right



And that big house you see there in the background

That big shiny car I bought to drive her around

And just to keep her happy I worked hard both day and night

Now it all belongs to my friend there on the right



The picture showed the truth but I was oh so blind

I was a guy in the middle all the times

I filled my hopes up till they were out of sight

And then she walked away with my friend there on the right

[ strings ]

The picture showed the truth...

Yes she walked away with my friend there on the right
