I just can’t be there for you Each time that you’re feeling blue And you call me on the phone. [Chorus] I don’t want to be there to mend your broken heart Every time somebody else has torn it apart. We both know that once you’re feeling better You’ll go back and do it again. I don’t want to be the one you call late at night When the love you thought you’d found is nowhere in sight. Girl, I love you too much to have to watch You going through all that again. I don’t want to be your friend. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] You’ll have to learn how to be real strong And rise above it when things go wrong. Although I may not be there You know that I will still care, ‘Cause I’ve been loving you all along. [Chorus] I don’t want to be there to mend your broken heart Every time somebody else has torn it apart. We both know that once you’re feeling better You’ll go back and do it again. I don’t want to be the one you call late at night When the love you thought you’d found is nowhere in sight. Girl, I love you too much to have to watch You going through all that again. I don’t want to be your friend. [Instrumental Outro]
