He had blue eyes and long blonde hair The kind you see in an old rock band They acted as if they didn't care But they knew they'd make a better pair I just wanted her to hold my hand Sit by my side and make, future plans But I think I'll just have to play pretend My girls best friend took my love away My girls best friend took my love away I could've been better if she had stayed My girls best friend took my love away Now they're sitting all alone In an empty parking lot Maybe they'll even sing along To what used to be my favorite song I didn't believe my friends, I was blinded by love Maybe I just didn't want to know That now my baby's gone My girls best friend took my love away My girls best friend took my love away I knew this would happen someday My girls best friend took my love away Well, at the end of the day What more can I say? I guess she's really just Happier that way I swear her and that guy are gonna drive me Insane My girls best friend took my love away My girls best friend took my love away I guess this is really how our story ends My girls best friend took my love away (Ahh)
