(Toni Braxton, Vance Taylor)



Oh, I remember on the 4th of July

That's when I learned it was true

The stories of taboo

How could you do it if your love was true

And still want to be in my life

And make no sacrifice

Now you come and tell me

That you're really sorry

And ask to be in my life again



Oh no there's no way to begin

Or start love over

Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight

Oh don't you sigh

Or come cryin' on my shoulder

Should've thought about the consequences then

You and my best friend



Oh I recall the pain it hurt so bad

I didn't have the strength to live

But I was just too young to die

See I have had my heart broken before

But never like this

I admit it baby left me feeling scorned

Now the love inside my heart is fading

The trust of my man and my best friend betrayed



Oh no there's no way to begin

Or start love over

Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight

Oh don't you sigh

Or come cryin' on my shoulder

Should've thought about the consequences then

You and my best friend



How could you do that to me

And tell me that our love would always be

Always be



Oh no there's no way to begin

Or start love over

Oh no lovemaking will there be here tonight

Oh don't you sigh

Or come cryin' on my shoulder

Should've thought about the consequences then

You and my best friend
