A friend went away to another town Where you set your watch to the sound of a pound The first girl I loved soon followed it seemed And when the second one went we were choosing teams And baby she got hers and I got mine But somehow everybody seemed to get on fine But we were losing friends over love Losing friends over love When I went out just the other night I said, "put your hands up, cause were gonna fight" But who am I to act so tough When I learn so little and forget so much Now the heart will break when it hits the ground So wake up little girl you're a woman now But we were losing friends over love Losing friends over love Alright now Some move forward and some move back Some buy a ticket and don't come back How did everything go wrong We all just try to carry on Some move up and some fall down Some buy a ticket and leave this town How did evrything go wrong We all just try to carry on No one says a word but there lips are poised But everyone's got an opinion of course And we were losing friends over love Losing friends over love All the stupid things you do at night When you been up for three days And your so uptight And we where losing friends over love Losing friends over love We were losing friends over love Losing friends over love Alright now Some move forward and some move back Some buy a ticket and don't come back How did everything go wrong We all just try to carry on Some move up and some fall down Some buy a ticket and leave this town How did everything go wrong We all just try to carry on She could run away to London She could run overseas A merry-go-round in another town It all seems the same to me Alright now Some move forward and some move back Some buy a ticket and don't come back How did everything go wrong We all just try to carry on Some move up and fall down Some buy a ticket and leave this town How did everything go wrong We all just try to carry on Some move up and some fall down Some buy a ticket and leave this town How did everyhint go wrong We all just try to carry on We all just try to carry on
