Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah   He's not for you, ah-ah-ah   He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah   There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah   Just one thought on his mind   You know it's that kind you shoulda   Known when you met him you must be blind      Seems like only yesterday   That girl was mine in every way   People couldn't part us if they tried   Now she's turned her head away   She's lost her smile she's not so gay   Won't you come back to my side      Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah   He's not for you, ah-ah-ah   He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah   There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah   Just one thought on his mind   You know it's that kind you shoulda   Known when you met him you must be blind      Seems like only yesterday   That girl was mine in every way   People couldn't part us if they tried   Now she's turned her head away   She's lost her smile she's not so gay   Won't you come back to my side      Keep off of that friend of mine   Keep off of that friend of mine   Keep off of that friend of mine   Keep off of that friend of mine
