Squeeze - I Learnt How to Pray lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

She's been good to me

And her aim is plain,

With an open mind

And a tender way.

As she looks through boxes of secondhand clothes

She's a first class person as her best friend knows.

She's been good to me

Helped me not to lie,

Listens to my words

And the truth she finds.

As I fell in love with my very best freind

I didn't realise that our friendship would end.

I learnt how to pray

Every night,

To relieve the pain

Deep inside.

I was serious with a furrowed brow

I just fell in love what do I do now?

As I fell in love with my very best friend

I didn't realise that our friendship would end.

It didn't work for us the lesson I learnt

The fire was lit and I got burnt.

And I fell in love with my very best friend

I didn't realise that our friendship would end.
