Lyrics I Learnt How To Pray - Squeeze

I Learnt How To Pray

She’s been good to me and her aim is plain
With an open mind and a tender way
As she looks through boxes of secondhand clothes
She’s a first class person as her best friend knows
She’s been good to me, helped me not to lie
Listens to my words and the truth she finds
As I fell in love with my very best friend
I didn’t realize that our friendship would end
I learned how to pray every night
To relieve the pain deep inside
I was serious with a furrowed brow
I just fell in love, what do I do now?
As I fell in love with my very best friend
I didn’t realize that our friendship would end
I learned how to pray every night
To relieve the pain deep inside
It didn’t work for us, the lesson I learnt
The fire was lit and how I got burnt
As I fell in love with my very best friend
Oh, I didn’t realize that our friendship would end
I learnt how to pray every night
To relieve the pain deep inside
I learnt how to pray every night
To relieve the pain deep inside
I learned how to pray every night
To relieve the pain deep inside
