[Verse 1]
If I, my friend, can't tell you
When you, my friend, are wrong
Not to do what you want to
Just because it's wrong

[Verse 2]
Well, then, my friend, in passing
We've been friends too long
And I, my friend, must tell you
Leave that man alone

[Bridge]
Your little girls might not understand
And you know the baby would cry
And what would you do if their daddy knew
And he told you goodbye?

[Verse 3]
Let it end, my friend, say it's over
And thank the stars above
That you've got a home to run to
And a sweet, sweet man to love

[Outro]
I must say, my friend, if you stay my friend
Leave that man alone
Leave my man alone
