Deep down we're all the same
Fools by any other name
Too proud to share the blame
Too damn scared to bear the pain
I see a smiling face
She leaves me from this loveless place
Hates to see love go to waste
Oh man, here I go again

Mother nature must have put a curse on me, yeah
I try to hide it but you know I can't be true
We could stick together to the bitter end
But you know I'll never be a model friend

Oh man, you know I tried
To keep the lid on a love denied
Set sail gotta catch the tide
Meet me there on the other side
The line is paper thin
Where friendship ends and love begins
I've got to know how I fit in
Oh man, my hands are tied

Mother nature must have put a curse on me, yeah
I try to change it but there's nothing I can do
I could make you happy but I can't pretend
So you know I'll never be a model friend
Oh, no no, model friend

Mother nature must have put a curse on me, yeah
I try to hide it but you know I can't be true
We could stick together to the bitter end
But you know I'll never be a model friend
Mother nature must have put a curse on me, yeah
I try to change it but there's nothing I can do
I could make you happy but I can't pretend
So you know I'll never be a model friend

Be a model friend
Be a model friend

Deep down we're all the same (be a model friend)
Fools by any other name (be a model friend)
Too proud to share the blame (be a model friend)
Too damn scared to bear the pain
Oh man, here I go again
Deep down we're all the same
Fools by any other name
Too proud to share the blame (be a model friend)
Too damn scared to bear the pain
Oh man, here I go again
Deep down we're all the same
Fools by any other name
Too proud to share the blame
Too damn scared to bear the pain
