Lyrics
I'm in my oldest pair of jeans,
You've got no make-up on,
Another easy afternoon with you is almost gone.
I don't know how you'll feel about
The thing I have to say,
You might break down in tears, I guess, you might laugh it away.
And yet I've got to say it, and you've got to know it's true,
What I've been looking for is what I have in you.
I'm in love with my best friend,
And I hope it never ends,
It took me by surprise,
I never realized,
I've been searching for so long,
But I always got it wrong,
Because I've always been
In love with my best friend.
You look at me and I can see
How it must feel so strange,
It's been the way it's been so long and now it has to change.
But then you sigh,
We both know why,
You knew it all the time,
and you were only waiting for me to know my mind.
I think we may be lovers,
but we won't be only friends.
Whatever happens now, we can't go back again.
I'm in love with my best friend,
And I hope it never ends,
It took me by surprise,
I never realized,
I've been searching for so long,
But I always got it wrong,
Because I've always been
In love with my best friend.
