Squeeze - I Learnt How to Pray Lyrics

She's been good to me
And her aim is plain,
With an open mind
And a tender way.
As she looks through boxes of secondhand clothes
She's a first class person as her best friend knows.
She's been good to me
Helped me not to lie,
Listens to my words
And the truth she finds.
As I fell in love with my very best friend
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.
I learnt how to pray
Every night,
To relieve the pain
Deep inside.

I was serious with a furrowed brow
I just fell in love what do I do now?
As I fell in love with my very best friend
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.

It didn't work for us the lesson I learnt
The fire was lit and I got burnt.
And I fell in love with my very best friend
I didn't realise that our friendship would end.
