Only Friends

If we are only friends
Why do you kiss me like you do?
If we are only friends
Why do you hold me all night through?
Do the words: I love you
Never come to your mind
Don't you know I love you?
Or is love really blind?
And every time we dance
When there is starlight up above
I wonder if by chance
You will discover this is love
Could we be as happy
As we both seem to be?
Could we be so happy
For the whole world to see if we are only friends?
All evening in your arms you hold me
'Til suddenly it's time to part
I wonder why you always hold me
So close to your heart
If we are only friends
Why don't you dance with someone new
And when the party ends
Why do I always leave with you
There's a happy ending
But on you that depends
And until you tell me
I can only say
We're just very good friends
We are only good friends
We're still very good friends
