Lyrics
Just Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This feels so wrong, I'm so confused
You give me love, but you can't be true
You say you need your space and time
With or without you I'll lose my mind
Oh yes I know if meant to be
In the future we'll be hand in hand
But girl right now you're killing me
'Cause I know you're making love to
another man
CHORUS:
Do you really want to be just friends
Don't you s'til love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me
You call me for some time to spend
Just as long as I'm out your door by
10:00pm
Platonic love will have to suffice
Can't bear the thought of you out of
my life
I've tried to end this misery
But i'm always picking up that phone
Swallow my pride, I beg and plead
But you always sing the same ole song,
"We can be friends"
