We were best friends
But you'll never understand
That I never, never seemed to tell you the full truth
And when I'd get home
I'd always call you on the phone
But I never, never told you how I felt about you
You hung me on the line
And I told you a thousand times
That I never, never wanted to be something more
And yes I really tried
But in the end I guess I lied
Cause now I finally see it was you I was looking for
And I know I'm good at talking off the top of my head
And at giving good advice before we each go to bed
But Honey, I wish you would talk about me
But you always seem to talk about another man
When you know I'd love to talk about holding your hand
But Honey, I wish that you could see
That I wish you would talk about me
I've never been known
To have a woman of my own
I'd see a girl and never take a lead
But when I think of love
It's always you I'm thinking of
You're everything that I will ever need
It never takes you second tries
To prove that you are perfect in my eyes
You're beautiful and I don't know what to do
I hope one lucky day
You will look at me and say
That you think of me in the same way
That I've always thought of you
And I know I'm good at talking off the top of my head
And at giving good advice before we each go to bed
But Honey, I wish you would talk about me
But you always seem to talk about another man
When you know I'd love to talk about holding your hand
But Honey, I wish that you could see
That I wish you would talk about me
Well I told you I was fine
Even though I wish that you were mine
But you'd smile and say
That you'll find love one day
And if I told you the full truth
I'd have to count myself as living proof
Cause you'd close your eyes and nod your head
And look the other way
And I know I'm good at talking off the top of my head
And at giving good advice before we each go to bed
But Honey, I wish you would talk about me
But you always seem to talk about another man
When you know I'd love to talk about holding your hand
But Honey, I wish that you could see
That I wish you would talk about me
