Lyrics

I told her that I loved her over coffee one day
By the time the check came I?d thrown it all away
She let me know that she was seeing another
Couldn?t risk the friendship, thought of me as a brother
Well, I?ve got too many friends, and when you say ?hey baby!?
I don?t want it to be familial, I want it to be craaazy
The last thing she wanted was to cause me frustration
Well, friends shalt not lead friends into temptation

Sons and Lovers
Friends and others
How long did you expect that I would keep this undercover?

Ran into her again about three weeks later
With some guy with some shirt with some alligator
The smile on her face said she was happy to see me
But I couldn?t help it, I was barely breathing
The normal exchange, ?how about dinner??
I don?t want to lose her, but I can?t seem to win her
If all you wanted girl was brotherly love
Move down to Philly, because I?ve got too much

Sons and Lovers
Friends and others
How long did you expect that I would keep this undercover?
You used to tease me
But you won?t please me
And I don?t want to be friends anymore?

What did you think, I was some kid in your sandbox?
Well, here?s some news, I don?t want to play anymore
Not being able to live in the castle?s a bore
If you think about it
It could have been like the movies
Bermuda beaches, making love in the bay
Instead we chat over lunch, and I pay
It didn?t have to be this way

I shouldn?t have gone off like a man on a mission
I guess that?s why they don?t talk much about a man?s intuition
And some might say, you should?ve showed her not told her
But I?m getting better baby, and you?re getting older
So, don?t go on thinking I?m going to cry in my coffee
It?s more bitter than I am, my heart isn?t stopping
You and me, we could?ve been a good thing
But I?m seeking greatness, have fun with your next fling

Sons and Lovers
Friends and others
I loved her once, I guess I?ll have to love another?
