Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah

He's not for you, ah-ah-ah

He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah

There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah

Just one thought on his mind

You know it's that kind you shoulda

Known when you met him you must be blind



Seems like only yesterday

That girl was mine in every way

People couldn't part us if they tried

Now she's turned her head away

She's lost her smile she's not so gay

Won't you come back to my side



Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah

He's not for you, ah-ah-ah

He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah

There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah

Just one thought on his mind

You know it's that kind you shoulda

Known when you met him you must be blind



Seems like only yesterday

That girl was mine in every way

People couldn't part us if they tried

Now she's turned her head away

She's lost her smile she's not so gay

Won't you come back to my side



Keep off of that friend of mine

Keep off of that friend of mine

Keep off of that friend of mine

Keep off of that friend of mine
