Just Friends — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

Were friends, thats all we are

And thats all we will become

Its understood

Were only friends

And its better that way

For everyone concerned

So if you brush against me

When were walking side by side

I wont wonder what youre thinking

cause weve got nothing to hide

And I know you didnt mean it that way

cause were just friends





Were friends, thats all we are

And thats all well ever be

Is friends

And we can split the cheque

But well never bring the conversation

Around to you and me

If I see your hand upon me

Its no reason for alarm

I realize you must have seen

Something walking down my arm

And I know you didnt mean it that way

cause were just friends





Oh I know, and you know

That this is really the way

That it ought to be

cause if it was another way

Wed have a lot of trouble

And wed end up in confusion

And wed lose a lot of sleep

We both know better than to slip and go

And get ourselves all tangled up again

If we want to keep our peace of mind

Weve got to keep a little distance

And just be friends





Oh yeah, uh huh, oh



So Ill try to understand

When I feel your arm around my back

That you really meant to do something else

But somehow youve gotten off the track

cause I know you didnt mean it that way

cause were just friends





I know you didnt mean it that way

Oh I know, you didnt mean it that way

Yes I know, you didnt mean it that way

cause were just friends
