Some of us are the remnants of those left behind

Never chosen in games or in relationships

It’s not that we ain’t nice and not that we ain’t kind

We don’t know why we’re treated like this

And I see you, you been around

One of the many friends I’ve come to know

You only said good things ‘bout me all along

And you know how I care for you oh

And I know that things are tipsy turvy in your new relationship

And he’s acting like he wants out of it

Hope I’m not being facetious, hope I’m not making myself look foolish

Hope you understand me and tale serious note of this,  cause

 

After he’s through with you,

Could I be the one to hold you then?

After he says it’s over,

Could we be lovers as well as friends?

After he’s through with you

I want the chance before you

Find someone else to hurt you again

I will never do that girl!

 

Why people put each other down?

Why people laugh when others fail?

I don’t know, I don’t know!

But some of us fail for very long periods of time!

And go through a lot of guilt, fears, depression and humiliation

But one day when someone shows to us a smile

With meaning to it, can really calm our aggression!

Some friends are ever friendly!

Some friends are too moody!

And you said I’m one of the best friends you’re ever gonna have

I always come to make you cher and always find ways to make you laugh

And you know the situation I’ve faced so long

And you had so many boyfriends who done you wrong

And if this one is leaving

You said you think he’s leaving, oh

 

After he’s through with you,

Could I be the one to hold you then?

After he says it’s over,

Could we be lovers as well as friends?

After he’s through with you

I want the chance before you

Find someone else to hurt you again

I will never do that girl!

No I’ll never do you like that

So after he’s through

Hey I love you

 

Let me into your soul

Let me be the one this time

I think there’s a lot we’ll learn

And maybe there won’t be a next time, so

 

After he’s through with you,

Could I be the one to hold you then?

After he says it’s over,

Could we be lovers as well as friends?

After he’s through with you

I want the chance before you

Find someone else to hurt you again

I will never do that girl!

No no nooooo!
