Lyrics of Keep off that friend of mine (hicks/elliott)

Keep off, off that friend of mine, ah, ah, ah
He's not for you, ah, ah, ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah, ah, ah
There's nothin' new, ah, ah, ah

Just one thought on his mind
You know it's that kind
You shoulda known when you met him
You must be blind

Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried

Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back to my side?

Keep off, off that friend of mine, ah, ah, ah
He's not for you, ah, ah, ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah, ah, ah
There's nothin' new, ah, ah, ah

Just one thought on his mind
You know it's that kind
You shoulda known when you met him
You must be blind

Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried

Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back to my side?

Keep off, off that friend of mine
Keep off, off that friend of mine
Keep off, off that friend of mine
Keep off, off that friend of mine
