[Chorus]
My friends avoid the issue and Dmtalk of other things
But GI know what they're thinking and so do youC  
'Cause I have heard the story, I Dmdon't believe it's true
GAll the things they're saying aboCut you
[Verse]
If you had something on your mind, GI know you'd say
'Cause you always said if we had problems, Cwe would find a way
But do you know you haven't said much lately and you Glook a little pale?
Guess there's something on your mind Cor are you just unwell?
[Chorus]
My friends avoid the issue and Dmtalk of other things
But GI know what they're thinking and so do youC  
'Cause I have heard the story, I Dmdon't believe it's true
GAll the things they're saying aboCut you
[Verse]
It's nice in times of trouble, to Ghave a friend around
But I need some time alone with you, CI'm sure you wouldn't mind
So let's sit by the fire, just Gyou and me alone
And you can cook a special meal, and CI'll go buy some wine
[Chorus]
My friends avoid the issue and Dmtalk of other things
But GI know what they're thinking and so do youC  
'Cause I have heard the story, I Dmdon't believe it's true
GAll the things they're saying aboCut you
[Verse]
I'm beginning to get the picture, it's Gall becoming clear
Why'd you have to do it, did you Chave to make it here?
You can't mean what you're saying, Gtell me it's not true
It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't Clove you
[Chorus]
My friends avoid the issue and Dmtalk of other things
But GI know what they're thinking and so do youC  
'Cause I have heard the story, I Dmdon't believe it's true
GAll the things they're saying aboCut you
