Best Friends

<br>I was sixteen<br>Going on twenty-one<br>I called it a relationship<br>You called it having fun<br>We were best friends<br>Doing things kids do<br>And no matter what you`d like to think<br>We were lovers too<br>Chorus:<br>Boys will be boys<br>If they are left to their own devices<br>Boys will be boys<br>But often they make sacrifices<br>Men will be men will be men will be men<br>Afraid of being boys<br>We shared all our secrets<br>`Round an open fire<br>And wrestled with each other<br>As we wrestled with desire<br>We walked along together<br>`Til you ran off in fright<br>And me, I took a left<br>And you, you took a right<br>(Chorus)<br>Sometimes you`re too young to know<br>Some things you just outgrow<br>But I know what I felt for you<br>And it must have scared the hell out of you<br>Now we are two grown men<br>Two very different lives<br>I`m happy with my lover<br>You seem happy with your wife<br>We are two grown men<br>Trying to pretend<br>That nothing ever happened<br>That we were only friends<br>(Chorus)
