Better Off as Friends

Please excuse my religion

Excuse the ceremony and the show

When I first gave in to Your advances

You were wanting to get closer than I'd know

But I'll allow if for a moment

For just a moment I'll come near

Long enough to say those words

That all men are taught to fear

I think we'd be better off as friends

I think that should be where it ends

There's no complicated reason

Just as simple as sin

I think we'd be better off as friends

Please excuse my reluctance

Turn Your eyes away from my embarrassed grin

Never gone this far before

Don't think I could ever go this way again

So I'll just raise my head

And look deep into Your eyes

And offer You those words

I've been conditioned to despise

I wanted flowers

You were buying me a ring

I wanted candy

You were giving everything

You took my breath away

Don't think that I have denied it

But this heart You've stolen, Sir

Do You think we could still divide it?
