Lyrics Bobby Womack

When Love Begins Friendship Ends

If I told you, told you, told you

You were wrong

You get mad and say leave me alone

So I waited, waited, waited

To let you see

The women you love, is in love with me

And she's so tired of being left alone

I know we're friends

But sometimes when love begins

That's when friendship ends

That's when friendship ends

I never, never, never

Thought it would be this way

You left her alone both night and day

When you were gone

Long gone such a long time

I was always there to keep her from crying

She was so tired of being left alone

I know we're friends

But sometimes when love begins

That's when friendship ends

So why don't you

Just shake my hand and walk away like a man

Help me somebody, help me somebody

Now the girl, the girl, the girl

Means a world to me

Gonna make score

She gets what she need

But she ask me for love

I couldn't turn around

When she needed your love

You were never around

She was so tired of being left alone

I know we're friends

But sometimes when love begins

That's when friendship ends

I say, "That's when friendship ends"

Help me somebody, somebody

Oh, somebody, somebody, somewhere

Somebody, somewhere

It's too late

Is it too late?

Oh love, oh love

Love, oh love, love

Love will turn you against your own mother

And sometimes, sometimes

It can turn you all the way around

Turn you against your sister

Turn you against your sister or brother

Yes it can now

So my friend, my friend

This is it, that's got to end

As I think, as I think

I've got a love that's 'bout to begin

I couldn't be this way now no, no, no

Took me by surprise

I can't help myself

No, I can't help myself no, no

Long time, long time, long time
