After all we've been to one another
How can we become like sister and brother
Darling I beg of you if our love must end
Ask me to forgive you but don't ask me to be friends
After bein' the one that you took pride in
I just couldn't be the friend you confide in
If it's goodbye for us we'll never meet again
Ask me to forgive you but don't ask me to be friends
Wanting you so badly needing you like this
How can I just look at the lips that I used to kiss
If there's someone else don't let me see him
Cause I'll spend my life wishing I could be him
Darling I beg of you if our love must end
Ask me to forgive you but don't ask me to be friends
