• Oh, damn
    I hate where I stand
    Beginning the end of
    The love of a friend

    My excuse is her feelings
    But inside I'm reeling
    Since I don't believe that myself
    I know I can't stand him
    Wish I could demand him
    Away from such a precious part of my life

    Oh, damn
    I know where I stand
    Protecting the
    Love of a friend

    Morals won't let me hurt her
    Won't let him desert her
    Are all that is keeping my charade intact
    I'll pretend that I'm happy
    Though inside I feel crappy
    For making the him plus the her a known fact

    Oh, damn
    I'll sit where I stand
    And watch from the sidelines
    The love of a friend

    I hope they'll be settled
    Though I'll remain nettled
    I swear that I won't interfere
    If it's my fault she leaves him
    I'll be inwardly grieving
    To have kept her from someone so dear

    Oh, damn
    I must learn to stand
    On my own all because of
    The love of a friend
    I send you my wishes
    Though rotten they are
    I pray you accept them from the very core
    Of my being, my heart, and my mind and my soul
    So that you'll remember when we've both grown old
    That I don't like him now
    And probably never will
    But for your sake I promise to try and be still
    Just so you can be happy
    I'll sulk here at home
    At least till I find a love of my own.
