Lyrics
If you find your sweetheart in the arms of a friend
That’s when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime must come to an end
That’s when your heartaches begin
Love is a thing you never can share
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That’s the end of your sweetheart
That’s the end of your friend
That’s when your heartaches begin
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend, brother
That’s, that’s when your heartaches begin
And you know, when all of your dreams
When all your dreams of a lifetime must
Must all come to an end
Yeah that’s, that’s when your heartaches begin
Oh, you see love is a thing that
That you never can share
And you know, when you bring a friend, ah
Into your love affair
That’s the end of your sweetheart
That’s the end of your friend
Well, that’s when your heartaches begin
