We Don't Have To Be 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.
Do you remember when we first said hello?
The way you wore your hair.
How we drank 'til dawn,
Then got it on,
On your basement stairs.
Every little bit of joy in my heart
Has turned to pain somehow.
But I'll take the pain,
'Cause I'd go insane
If I left you now.
We don't have to be friends to get along.
We don't have to be friends to get it on.
Just say I love you
'Cause that's just words.
We don't have to be friends.
We don't have to be friends.
When you need me I'll be right by your side,
You're there when I need you.
There's a bond we share
And we always care,
Though our hearts aren't true.
You take care of everything that I need
And I'll take care of you,
And I realize
That your big green eyes
Look for something new.
Repeat Chorus.
We don't have to be friends to carry through,
We don't have to be friends 'cause that's not true.
Just say I love you cause that's just words.
We don't have to be friends.
We don't have to be friends.
We don't have to be friends.
We don't have to be friends.
