[Intro]
(I think you know a real close friend of mine)

[Verse 1]
The girl that you described sounds so familiar
The one you say you've loved for quite some time
Are you sure there's no mistake for I have a feeling
That you're in love's a real close friend of mine

[Chorus]
Well, I'm glad we've had this little talk together
For at last I began to see the light
I've been spending many lonely nights here lately
All because of that real close friend of mine
(I think you know a real close friend of mine)

[Verse 2]
Well, I'll bet she says each day her love grows stronger
And if you left she'd surely lose her mind
And if she ever makes you feel unwanted
Then I think you know a real close friend of mine

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm glad we've had this little talk together
For at last I began to see the light
I've been spending many lonely nights here lately
All because of that real close friend of mine
All because of a real close friend of mine
