[Verse 1: Robin Gibb]
It's too late to turn back now
There ain't no space back there
And how did I begin to lose my self control
How did I begin to lose my self control

[Verse 2: Robin Gibb]
There ain't a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That's the only thing that satisfies my soul
That's the only thing that satisfies my soul

[Hook: Barry Gibb]
I don't wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don't wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know , you're my only friend

[Verse 2]

[Hook: Barry Gibb]

[Outro: Barry and Robin]
I don't wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know you're my only friend
You know as well as I know you're my only friend
You're my only friend
My only friend
My only friend

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
