The writer Samuel Butler once wrote, "A man's friendships are, like
his will,
invalidated by marriage." I have seen this situation occur
again and again,
and thus this lyric.

Amy Cole
Amy Cole was my very best friend,
It was a friendship no one could sever---
We shared our hopes,
And we shared our truths,
And we shared every package
Of Baby Ruths,
And we knew we'd be friends forever.
But when Amy met Richie Cato,
She dropped us all like a hot potato.No more meetings
And no more calls,
No more cruising
The shopping malls,
No more hanging out in the gym---
You can't be friends with Amy Cole
Now that's she's in love with him.No more Pepsis
And no more Cokes,
No more laughing
At stupid jokes,
No more cribbing in science class---
You can't be friends with Amy Cole
Now that she has found this ass.I suppose on the surface
Richie Cato's all right,
But I don't understand,
I just don't understand
How this can end overnight.I always thought
That together Amy and I
Would go far in this world---
But since this blunder,
I sit and wonder
Just how many Amy Coles
There are in this world.
'Cause you can't be friends with Amy Cole
Now that Amy Cole's in love.
