I saw pity in the face of a friend

And that's something I don't wanna see again

With sad eyes he gave me sympathy

'Cause he knew

Yes he knew

That you've been cheatin' on me



Oh I saw pity in the face of a friend

Even though he tried to hide it with a grin

Yes he put on a very good act

But I knew, yes I knew

You'd been runnin' around behind my back



So I'm taking that road away from you

Gonna find myself a place to hide

And when people remember they say

He was saving face and pride



Oh oh

I saw pity in the face of my friend

But for some reason I had to look again

And there in his eyes

The truth was plain to see

It was him, yes it was him

That you really loved and not me



Oh I saw saw pity in the eyes of my friend

And it told me that you loved only him

And not me

Oh oh I saw pity in the eyes of a friend
