[RL]
To just act like we never were
To come around and not show hurt
How dare we greet by shaking hands
Just months ago, I was your man, was your man
Verbally we`d agreed it was over
And we were through
I`m trying to compose myself
But I just can`t get over you, girl
We can`t be friends
(Yeah, no oh)
We can`t be friends
(Deborah, you know I can`t go on being just your friend, yeah)
We can`t be friends
Cuz I`m still in love with you
[Deborah]
I went by mother`s, saw your car there
To her you`re still family
And it don`t seem fair
For everyone to just go on
And I`ve tried and I can`t do it
Cuz I`m still torn
I tried to think of you as just another love
In my past that didn`t last
But it`s not that simple, baby
We can`t be friends
(oh no, no, no, no)
We can`t be friends
(If we, if we can`t be lovers)
We can`t be friends
Cuz I`m still in love with you
[Both]
You may see me staring
Or catch me in a daze
May see me hang my head
When you come my way
Don`t get too close to me
And expect me to behave
[RL ] I might just steal a kiss
[Both] If you come near my face
What I`m trying to say
Repeat 1 while:
[RL ] We can`t be friends
[Dc ] Can you look me in the eyes
and honestly say you dont love me?
[RL ] Said do you know
[Dc ] R.L. I know
[Both] I`ll never ever find another love like you, oh no
[RL ] I love you too much baby
[Dc ] I love you too much, oh
[Both] We can`t be friends, I`m still in love
[Dc ] with you
[RL ] With you
[Dc ] I am
[RL ] Still in love
[dc ] Still in love
[RL ] You didn`t have to leave
[Both] With you
