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



verbably we agreed it was over

And we were through

Im trying to compose myself

But I just cant get over you, girl



We cant be friends

(Yeah, no oh)

We cant be friends

(Deborah, you know I cant go on being just your friend, yeah)

We cant be friends

Cuz Im still in love with you



[Deb]

I went by mothers, saw your car there

To her youre still family

And it dont seem fair

For everyone to just go on

And Ive tried and I cant do it

Cuz Im still torn



I tried to think of you as just another love

In my past that didnt last

But its not that simple, baby



We cant be friends

(Oh no, no, no, no)

We cant be friends

(If we, if we cant be lovers)

We cant be friends

Cuz Im still in love



[Both]

You may see me staring

Or catch me in a daze

May see me hang my head

When you come my way

Dont 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 Im trying to say



Repeat 1 while:

[RL ] We cant be friends

[Deb ] Can you look me in the eyes

and honestly say you dont love me?

[RL ] Said do you know

[Deb ] R.L. I know

[Both] Ill never ever find another love like you, oh no

[RL ] I love you too much baby

[Deb ] I love you too much, oh

[Both] We cant be friends, Im still in love

[Deb ] with you

[RL ] With you

[Deb ] I am

[RL ] Still in love

[Deb ] Still in love

[RL ] You didnt have to leave

[Both] With you
