You say, "She's a very good friend"
Circumstances I should understand
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though she's looking for a man

Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still all in all I foresee my own fall
But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop

I know it's your ego keep the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She's a beguiling snake and she'll keep what she takes
But she leaves you, I'll be the one coping

Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop

You will miss my conversation
When you're talking to yourself
You'll be thumbing for advice
Through the pages of the novels on your shelf

Honey, don't you see our love together is the very best bet
Put your focus on me I'll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace
You clever man, take my hand

Well, you needn't play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we're living
And as long as I'm here the situation is clear
It'll be fifty-fifty take and giving

Honey, don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask
Take off your costume and remove your mask
"Yes" is what you will say we're gonna start from today
Gonna take it to the very top, never stop
