lyrics

This is not my real girlfriend
Its unrequited love my friend
I know its not the thing to do
But for you I can still pretend

Why can’t you be happy
I can’t just give it to anybody
Why won’t you please have me now

I’m a victim of circumstance
But I can give it a second chance
And now it seems the hurts on you
I wanna give you some new romance

Nobody can reach me
I’m no good at baring gladly
Why won’t you please show me how

I got something to tell you too
I’ll always be in love with you
If you’re lonely, you can call me now

I was born to lose my friend
I always need an ear to bend
Don’t wanna be a strain on you
But I could do with a hand to lend

I’m yearning, concerning
My love in vain for you’s still burning
What makes you attract me girl, tell me girl
