about

Recorded at the Bull House in Lawrence, KS by Colin Mahoney.

lyrics

did she take you by the hand
and say "he hurt me so bad don't you understand?"
did she make the move
or was it you was it you was it you
sleep on her couch
or did she make you a bed on the ground
and what happened?
some things you don't think you need to defend

well you're just a friend of a friend of a friend
and to her you're just a means to an end
and to me you're just some guy who thinks
that he could mend
her broken heart

not the best way to start, friend!
she'll use you like a bridge over the harbor
from brooklyn to manhattan
more like from me over you to whatever happens
thought i heard you laughing
in my dreams when i try to sleep and it's not helping
so i lie awake
and i yell from over a thousand miles away

that you're just a friend of a friend of a friend
and to her you're just a means to an end
and to me you're just some guy who thinks
that he could mend
her broken heart

well if i could tonight i would make her my wife
and we'd settle down, get my feet on the ground
and i'd buy her a house in the south of france
with extra rooms for kids when we felt like it
yes i would!

and i hope that i never have to see your face
and i hope that i never have to hear your name
well you're probably ok but i need someone to blame
you might say "blame yourself" but i'd say that's not the same
it's not the same!

because you're just a friend of a friend of a friend
and to her you're just a means to an end
and to me you're just some guy who thinks
that he could mend
her broken heart
