Lyric
The girl that you described sounds so familiarThe one you say you’ve loved for quite some timeAre you sure there’s no mistake for I have a feelingThat your real love’s a real close friend of mineWell I am glad we’ve had this little talk togetherFor at last I began to see the lightI’ve been spending many lonely nights here latelyAll because of that real close friend of mine(I think you know a real close friend of mine)Well I’ll bet she says each day her love grows strongerAnd if you left she’d surely lose her mindAnd if she ever makes you feel unwantedThen I think you know a real close friend of mineYes I am glad we’ve had this little talk together…All because of a real close friend of mine
