Do I sit alone at home?

Do I pick up the telephone?

Can I keep my self-control with my best friend's boyfriend?



It more than my life's worth to hit on you

The water's too deep but the passion is too

I've got your number in my pocket and your body on my mind

Oh baby why must life be so unkind?



Of all the people it could be

To come and test my loyalty

If only it was anyone but you



'Cos you're my best friend's boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She's away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand

'Cos you're my best friend's boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has



She told me to call you if I needed you

Little did she know just how much I do

Now the water's getting deeper and I'm swimming for my life

Oh baby why, oh baby why?



Of all the people it could be

To come and test my loyalty

If only it was anyone but you



You're my best friend's boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She's away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand

You're my best friend's boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has



Do I sit alone at home?

Do I pick up the telephone?

Can I keep my self-control with my best friend's boyfriend?

It's a feeling I should never speak of

I'm trying but the flesh is weak

I know I'm getting in too deep with my best friend's boyfriend



You're my best friend's boyfriend

How am I supposed to handle that now baby?

She's away for the weekend

I just hope my conscience holds me back

I know what my heart says

Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand

You're my best friend's boyfriend

And baby what a fine man she has
