Hey man come on over here let me play some of nothin? for your ears
I sat down and listened to him say love keeps gettin? in the way
How many times will I fall in love with a girl that was my friend you see
Love is a hole in the middle of my hall, like a well that has no end
And I said

Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need
There’s a soul out there that yours wants to find
Set your spirit free and I said
Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need

She said hey man, come on let’s go, let me tell you something that you don’t know
Well I paced the floor and listened to her say love keeps gettin? in the way
How many times will I fall in love with a boy who was my friend you see,
Love is a pole that blocks the door with a key the boy can’t lend and I said

Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need
There’s a soul out there that yours wants to find
Set your spirit free and I said
Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need

I tried to find some reason why I know our love is better but I’ve been sinkin?
I’ve been sinkin?
Well I tried to find a corner in my mind leave it all behind, but I’ve been thinkin?
I’ve been thinkin?
We can put it all together babe, we’ve got plenty of time
I remember sittin? ‘neath the stars, talkin? ‘bout love in a broken down car
He said what are we gonna do we’ve lost our way and love keeps gettin? in the way
Well I replied to the question on his face said love’s not a time or convenient place
You’ve got rocks in you shoes you gotta fly, if it’s love there is no question why

Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need
There’s a soul out there that yours wants to find
Set your spirit free and I said
Oh yeah, I know what you mean
‘cause a friend in love is a friend in need
