Friends No More
Oh we could never be friends
Friends no more
I had a girl, a good little girl we she
I had a friend best of friends were we
But my friend took my girl away from me
I know they were in love
But I was blind, tou see
Friends No More
Oh we could never be friends
Friends no more
I understand, don't ever think I do
I can plainly see he's the boy for you
Oh, why did't you tell me
Tell to my face
And why didn't tell me
That someone was taking my place
And that's why we're;
Friends No More
Oh we could never never be friends
Friends no more
Oh, Never trust your girl with your best friend
Cus you'll be the one, Hurt in the end
Hurt in the end
Friends No More
Oh we could we could never never be friends
Friends no more
We could never never be friends
Friends no more

This was the "B" side. This is an example of why you should never fail to hear both sides of every 45 that you find. Absolutely beautiful with such a hook!

Not only were their songs great but they were very well produced. Listen to the background music. There were violins and everything. If you were in your perhaps teens and 20s these songs are very sentimental.

Violins🎻 were great, you must also give credit to the cowbells🐂🔔
