I said I wish you never knew   how I feel for you   It's hard to be just friends now after all   I said I wanted more   he said how can you be so sure   I'm not sure I'm faithful after all      But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand   He says I can hold it but remember we're just friends   And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied   After all he keeps me alive      I'm happy when he smiles   if only for awhile   It's hard to just ignore a face like that   I wish he was everywhere   I wish his hand was in my hair   I would have been less lonely for awhile      But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand   He says I can hold it but remember we're just friends   And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied   After all he keeps me alive
