about

The best way to keep friends is to never really make them.

lyrics

You know I like you and I think you’ve got a great face
You know I’d really like to stay awhile at your place
But I fear I might let you down

Stains on your carpet and I possibly could lose your cat
Might break some dishes and I’d feel real bad about that
Oh no – I know you’d feel let down

Let you…..down
Feel let down
I’d let you….down
Feel let down

So take back your sweater and don’t ask me for my resume
I can’t imagine what would happen if we saw each other every day
Oh – I know you’d feel let down

Let you…..down
Feel let down
I’d let you….down

So you know I like you and I think you’ve got a great face
You know I’d really like to keep it that way

That way
Keep it that way
