Lyrics

Well, me and Frank we're the best of friends
And our friendship will never end
But it would hurt him so for him to know
That I'm in love with his girlfriend
Now, the love of a girl and the love of a friend
Are two things you can't compare
Though my heart will ache I will let it break
'Cause I know that it just ain't fair
So go on home girl, let's call it a night
You better go home girl, this just ain't right
But before you go I want you to know
That I love you, yes I do
And though it breaks my heart for us to part
Still I know Frank loves you too
Now you say that a we can make him see
We got a love that's really real
But I think that he is just like me
And I know just how he'd feel
Darling, we both know it would hurt him so
If you told him that it must end
And I could never hold the love I stole
From a man I call my best friend
Go on home girl, you better go home, girl
Go on home, you better move on
Me and Frank been friends for so long
And our friendship is really strong
He gives me his car to go for a ride
Never knows how long I'll be gone
Well, I'm trying to forget all the things that we've done
While Frank is just a-waiting back home
Girl you can't go ride with me anymore
That's the way it's got to be from now on
Go on home!
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm now you better move on, girl
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm you better move on, girl
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm now you better move on, girl
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm you better move on, girl
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm you better move on, girl
Um, hmm better go home, girl
Um, hmm you better move on, girl
