Danny doted on her every word
He was the sweetest talker
You're one in a million she would say
I couldn't bear to turn and look the other way
I held little Betty in my arms
Not knowing if I was worthy of his charm
For they shared a life that most would crave
It would have killed him to have seen her this way
A little closer, she said
Help me to be the me that I remember way back when
We were getting over being friends
Cause I can't bear to lose you again
Now for some life's short but sweet
For others love just falls at their feet
If he was her prince she was his queen
So who am to hide this gentle lie
I'll play the man she needs
A little closer, she said
Help me to be the me that I remember way back when
We were getting over being friends
Cause I can't bear to lose
No I just plain refuse
A little closer, she said
No need to keep the beat it's sweet surrender
My heart's set
Are we ever really over being friends
Cause I can't bear to lose you again
