Danny Kortchmar - Know What You Mean lyrics

Hey man, come on over here Let me play some of nothin' for your ears Well, I sat down and listened to him say Love keeps gettin' in the way Well, how many times will I fall in love With a girl that was my friend? You see love is a hole in the middle of my heart Like a well that has no end and I said Oh yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need There's a soul out there that yours wants to find Set your spirit free and I said Oh, yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need, yeah She said, hey man, come on let's go Let me tell you something that you don't know Well, I paced the floor, listened to her say Love keeps gettin' in the way And how many times will I fall in love With a boy that was my friend? You see love is a pole that blocks the door With a key the boy can't lend and I said Oh yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need There's a soul out there that yours wants to find Set your spirit free and I said Oh, yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need, yeah Well, I tried to find some reason why I know our love is better but I've been sinkin', yeah, I've been sinkin' Well, I tried to find a corner in my mind Leave it all behind, but I've been thinkin', yeah, I've been thinkin' We can put it all together babe, we've got plenty of time I remember sittin' 'neath the stars Talkin' 'bout love in a broken down car He said, what are we gonna do, we've lost our way And love keeps gettin' in the way Well, I replied to the question on his face Said, love's not a time or a convenient place Got rocks in you shoes, you gotta fly If it's love there is no question why, he said Oh yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need There's a soul out there that yours wants to find Set your spirit free and I said Oh, yeah, I know what you mean 'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need, oh yeah, oh yeah And I've been sinkin', I've been sinkin', babe And I've been sinkin', I've been sinkin', babe
