Sometimes It Hurts to Be a Friend

How long must I wait for you

Will it be forever?

Before you see the light of love that shines

How long?

Baby I've loved you

Since I was just about so high

Ever since I can remember

You've been the one

My heart desired and I watched you cried a river

So many times before

Each time someone breaks your heart

You come running to me for sympathy

How long?

Must I wait for you?

Will it be forever?

Before you see the light of love that shines

How long?

Sometimes it hurts to be a friend

Sometimes I just can't take it

Being in love with you

When you just don't see me that way

Sometimes babe it hurts so bad

Sometimes darling it hurts so bad

And how many times have I wanted you

Like a man wants a woman

And you've laughed it off

And made me feel a fool who needed you

How many times?

Have you been in the arms of someone new

And when you've given it all

And he turns you out

You come to me for sympathy

How long?

Must I go on

Giving love to you

When all you do is play around with this heart of mine

How long?

Sometimes it hurts to be a friend

Sometimes I just can't take it

Being in love with you

When you just don't see me that way

Sometimes babe it hurts so bad

Sometimes darling it hurts so bad

Sometimes it hurts so bad
