Song lyrics

You told me, 'Boy, look the other way!'
You told me, 'Boy, bite your tongue!'
Yes, that's not the way,
Yeah, that's not the way!
Ah, that's not the way that friends behave,
Ah, that's just not the way that friends behave!
Oh, no, no, no!

You lined me up
Across the room,
Two falling sparks,
One willing fool.
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar.

You told me, 'Boy, look the other way!'
You told me, 'Boy, hide those hands!'
But I've been living on the crumbs of your love,
And I'm starving now.
And that is just the way that we remain,
Ah, that will be the way that we remain!
Oh, no, no, no!

You lined me up
Across the room,
Two falling sparks,
One willing fool.
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar.

You lined me up
Across the room,
Two falling sparks,
One willing fool.
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar.

It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now.
It shouldn't come as a surprise,
She got darling hazel eyes.

It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now. [×4]
