Oh, I remember on the 4th of July  That's when I learned it was true  The stories of taboo  How could you do it if your love was true  And still want to be in my life  And make no sacrifice  Now you come and tell me  That you're really sorry  And ask to be in my life again    Oh no there's no way to begin  Or start love over  Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight  Oh don't you sigh  Or come cryin' on my shoulder  Should've thought about the consequences then  You and my best friend    Oh I recall the pain it hurt so bad  I didn't have the strength to live  But I was just too young to die  See I have had my heart broken before  But never like this  I admit it baby left me feeling scorned  Now the love inside my heart is fading  The trust of my man and my best friend betrayed    Oh no there's no way to begin  Or start love over  Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight  Oh don't you sigh  Or come cryin' on my shoulder  Should've thought about the consequences then  You and my best friend    How could you do that to me  And tell me that our love would always be  Always be    Oh no there's no way to begin  Or start love over  Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight  Oh don't you sigh  Or come cryin' on my shoulder  Should've thought about the consequences then  You and my best friend
