(my Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers Lyrics

Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever

I would have bet my bottom dollar on

Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever

Just once I turned by back and you were gone



From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers

I'm all through, ever trusting anyone

The only thing I can count on now is my fingers

I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone



It amazes me not knowing any better

Than to think I had a love that would be true

Why I should be taken out and tarred and feathered?

To have let myself be taken in by you



From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers

I'm all through, ever trusting anyone

The only thing I can count on now is my fingers

I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
