Let's be honest,
we're brought up to seek humour,
intelligence,
grace,
decency and wisdom,
but when it comes to the chase,
all that counts is the body and the face.
One girl is cute,
one has top grade passes,
a great personality,
buck teeth and glasses,
incredibly bright but incredibly thin,
with frizzy hair and terrible skin.
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
One boy is built like an Olympic athlete,
with pecs and muscles and wings on his feet,
the other is nice and loyal and fat,
do you really want to be involved with that?
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
One lady is frivolous,
gorgeous and flirty,
a Venus de Milo whose morals are dirty,
the other is sweet and behaves like a nun,
she knows how to pray but not how to have fun.
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
One guy is handsome and brimming with brawn,
the other will chatter from sunset till dawn,
the one with a brain is so stimulating,
but he's not the one you end up dating.
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
Nobody wants the playing friend,
nobody wants the playing friend,
you pretend to defend qualities you depend on,
but they go home alone in the end.
