There's this friend of mine
Been doing time with the same girlfriend
That he's had for far too many of his daysIt seems with each passing second
Her brain lets loose
The one screw which holds back the rageThen she screams again, cries again
And it loosens a little more
It's much more than a single soul can take
And when it goes again tonight
Well, we all know who she'll blameThis friend of mine called last weekOn a payphone not too far from where he stays
It seems she lost her mind again that night'Cause she screams at him each night
Then she runs to him each day
And I just wouldn't feel rightIf I looked the other wayCHORUS:
So that's one for realityBut you didn't hear that from me
'Cause I'll only say it's not true
Let me add one more indecency
With absolute necessity
That she never claimed to be true
Neither did youBreak up time again
And my sister calls on the phone
To ask my humble opinion
Of just what's going onI said you scream at him each night
Then you run to him each day
And I just wouldn't feel right
If I look the other wayCHORUSI hear her side and I hear his
I was on the outside, now I'm in thisMy one word answer could come between them
My sister is crying, 'cause I can't decide (REPEAT)CHORUS
