Well, me and Frank we're the best of friends 
                              B 
And our friendship will never end 
But it would hurt him so for him to know 
                          E 
That I'm in love with his girlfriend 
Now, the love of a girl and the love of a friend 
        E7                  A 
Are two things you can't compare 
                                 E                  
Though my heart will ache I will let it break 
         B                  E 
 
'Cause I know that it just ain't fair  
 
 
Chorus   B                          E 
So go on home girl, let's call it a night 
              B                          E 
You better go home girl, this just ain't right 
But before you go I want you to know 
            E7         A 
That I love you, yes I do 
                                  E 
And though it breaks my heart for us to part 
        B                    E   
Still I know Frank loves you too 
 
 
E 
Well, you say that a we can make him see 
                             B 
We have a love that's really real 
But I think that he is just like me 
                               E 
And I don't know just how he'd feel 
Darling, people know it would hurt him so 
            E7               A 
If you told him that it must end 
                           E 
And I could never hold the love I stole 
       B                  E  
From a man I call my best friend 
      B                        E  
Go on home girl, you better go home, girl 
      B                 E      
Go on home, you better move on 
E 
Me and Frank been friends for so long 
                             B 
And our friendship is really strong 
He gives me his car to go for a ride 
                             E 
Never knows how long I'll be gone 
Well, I'm trying to forget all the things that we've done 
      E7                           A       
While Frank is just a-waiting back home 
                            E 
Girl you can't go ride with me anymore 
            B                          E  
That's the way it's got to be from now on 
 
 
Go on home! 
Uhn, hun. Better go home, girl 
Uhn, hun. Now you better move on, girl 
Uhn, hun. Better go home, girl 
Uhn, hun. You better move on, girl
