keep off that friend of mine

Singer:hollies, the

keep off of 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 of 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 of that friend of mine

keep off of that friend of mine

keep off of that friend of mine

keep off of that friend of mine
