I know why you're lonely 
And I know why you're blue 
You're lonesome to see him 
And you long to see her too 
We're not in love with each other 
We're in love with our best friends 
So let's invite them over again 

We've talked it over and over 
And we know it's not right 
We should stay away forever 
But we're lonesome each night 
Yes we stay away for a while 
But we know in the end 
We'll invite them over again 

We've talked it over and over 
And we know it's not right 
We should stay away forever 
But we're lonesome each night 
Yes we stay away for a while 
But we know in the end 
We'll invite them over again 
Let's invite them over again
