YOU SAY WE’RE JUST FRIENDS

You say we’re just friends and I believe you.

That’s OK as long as we kiss the way that we do.

You say friends don’t say I love you,

But are always there to hold you when you’re blue.

You say we’re just friends so you won’t have to be alone.

That’s OK as long as I can touch you and make you moan.

You say the word friend sometimes is misunderstood,

That it’s OK for friends to make friends feel good.

You say we’re just friends and can never be two.

I know you and I know what you say is true.

You say that being friends is just for fun,

And when it’s all over we will still be one.

You say we’re just friends and not lovers,

Because if we want we can have others.

You say that friends and lovers set a different tone.

Lovers tend to smother and friends go home.

 I know we’re just friends is what I say.

But I can’t help thinking about you every day.

I know being your friend I’ve met my match,

Because you are so afraid of getting attached.

I know we’re just friends and that’s what I’m believin’.

You say some day you may be leavin’.

I know the word love is a no no,

But what will I do when you do go.

I know we’re just friends and I understand,

But still, in my heart, I want to be your man.

If I start to smother just use this plan.

Tell me it’s time to get up and go home, Stan.

You say we’re just friends and I believe it.

I know that friends like you are hard to get.

I know I’m not your one and only,

But please think of me when you’re feeling lonely.
