The Beach Boys
Passing Friend
[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh
Uh-huh
[Chorus]
There's nothing worse than a passing friend
Who will die on you till the bitter end
There's nothing worse than a burning heart
Or a blast that tears the world apart
[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout my situation
Nothing ventured, nothing left to lose
When it's easier to just say nothing
I hadn't thought about what I might lose
[Pre-Chorus]
But in a child's eyes, there were feelings
Touching my violet skin
When the love games start appealing
You better get a move on in
[Chorus]
'Cause there's nothing worse than a passing friend
Or a pioneer of a dying trend
Nothing worse than a silent ghost
Or to lose your head at the starting post
[Verse 2]
Ain't it always just a short vacation?
When it's love, it always has to end
Under the sheets of life, it's just frustration
While the body goes in search again
[Pre-Chorus]
But in a child's eyes, there were feelings
Touching my violet skin
When the love games start appealing
You better get a move on in
[Chorus]
'Cause there's nothing worse than a passing friend
Who will die on you till the bitter end
Nothing worse than a burning heart
Or a blast that tears the world apart
[Bridge]
Why do you love someone
Who wants to break your heart?
Why do you need someone
Who wants to tear your world apart?
No, no
No, not again
Uh-huh
No, no
No, not again
Uh-huh
No, no
No, not again
Huh, huh
No, no
No, not again
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
I was packing up my life in cases
For a hundred years or maybe more
I've been talking to a million people
Don't you think I should have known the score
[Pre-Chorus]
But in a child's eyes, there were feelings
Touching my violet skin
When the love games start appealing
You better get a move on in
[Chorus]
'Cause there's nothing worse than a passing friend
Who will die on you till the bitter end
There's nothing worse than a burning heart
Or a blast that tears the world apart
Nothing worse than a passing friend
Or a pioneer of a dying trend
Oh, nothing worse than a silent ghost
Or to lose your head at the starting post
[Outro]
No, no
No, not again
No, no
No, not again
No, no
No, not again
No, no
No, not again
