I used to call her pet names
Told her she was divine
But she turned out to be a girl friend
Of a boy friend of mine

I used to take her places
She loved to dance and dine
But she turned out to be a new friend
Of an old friend of mine

She taught me that love was just a joke
And what a broken heart meant
She even had me go and get
A kitchenette apartment

She thrilled me with her glances
Her kiss was just like wine
But she turned out to be a close friend
Of a stout friend of mine
