Intro
Verse 1
Hey man come on over here let me play some of nothin' for your ears
Well 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
Chorus
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
' (with
riff)
Verse 2
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 that was my friend you
see,
Love is a pole that blocks the door with a key the boy can't lend and I
said
Chorus
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
Yeah
' (with
riff)
Bridge
(there's
solo over these
chords)
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
Verse 3
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 a
convenient place
You've got rocks in you shoes you gotta fly, if it's love there is no
question why
He said
Chorus
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
Oh, yeah
Outro
And I've been sinkin'

And I've been sinkin'
I've been sinkin', baby
