Hey There, Friend

I see you with your new prospect
you flirt with her until she falLs for you
you don't know i have fallen a long time ago too
i notice you hanging with yOur guy friends
who replace me when it's day
and wish i was them in a different way

i always have to loVe you from far away
never the girlfriend
just the best friend to stay

chorus
no matter how sEriously i say i love you
you just ignore my plea,
no matter how often i express what i feel
you never look at me
'cause you can never see me as more than a friend
and there's alwaYs that somebody else
all you can say to me
is hey there, friend

i pass by yOu and when you saw me
you ask me something i didn't hear
that's probably because i'm caUght up by your stare
i never Dress up but when you asked me
to buy help you buy something for her
i cried last night but i'm smiling whEn you bought the bear

i always have to love you from far away
never the girlfriend
just the beSt friend to stay

chorus
no matter how Seriously i say i love you
you just ignore my plea,
no matter how often i express what i feel
you never look at me
'cause you can never seE me as more than a friend
and there's always that somebody else
all you can say to me
is hey theRe, friend

if you ever change your mind
just always remember
i'll be beside you
now and forever...

chorus
no matTer how seriously i say i love you
you just ignore my plea,
no matter how often i express what i feel
you never even once took a look at me
'cause you can never see me as more than a friend
and there's always that somebody else
all you can say to me
all you can say to me
all you can say to me
(and that's what hurts me...)
is hey there, friend
