Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Best of friends never part
Best of fools has loved forever
From the bottom of his heart
[Verse 2]
So why pretend this is the end?
You'll have to find out for yourself
Go on, ask somebody else
[Verse 3]
Why can't you just get it through your head?
It's over, it's over now
Yes, you heard me clearly now
I said, it's over, it's over now
[Verse 4]
I'm not really over you
You might say that I can't take it, I can't take it
Lord, I swear I just can't take it no more
[Verse 5]
(Go away) Go away
(Far away) So far away
It's too late to turn back now
And it don't matter anyhow
[Verse 6]
'Cause you were right, I'm to blame
I can't go on the same old way
Can't keep up the same old game
[Verse 7]
Why can't you just get it through your head?
It's over, it's over now
Yes, you heard me clearly now
I said, it's over, it's over now
[Verse 8]
I'm not really over you
You might say that I can't take it, I can't take it
Lord, I swear I just can't take it no more
[Verse 9]
Why can't you just get it through your head?
It's over, it's over now
Yes, you heard me clearly now
I said, it's over, it's over now (It's O-O-O-O)
[Verse 10]
Why can't you just get it through your head?
It's over, it's over now (It's o-o-over)
Yes, you heard me clearly now
I said, it's over, it's over now (So clearly now, so clearly now)
Why can't you just get it through your head?
