My friend my friend

You were loyal and true

'Till that wretch of a woman

Well she got to you

My friend my friend

I been down on my knees

But I won't be beggin'

No more beggin' please



The black spot the black spot

Never thought I'd be the one givin' it to you

The black spot the black spot

My heart just ain't in it no more



My lover my lover

We sure had somethin' strong

'Till you took our love away

And left before long

My lover my lover

I been down on my knees

But I won't be beggin'

No more beggin' please



The black spot the black spot

Never thought I'd be the one givin' it to you

The black spot the black spot

My heart just ain't in it no more



You can build a love up

Make the foundation strong

But soon the cracks start to show

You can build a love up

As best as you can

But sooner or later

It's gonna show
