We're friends, that's all we are
|
And that's all we will become
|
It's understood
|
We're only friends
|
And it's better that way
|
For everyone concerned
|
So if you brush against me
|
When we're walking side by side
|
I won't wonder what you're thinking
|
'cause we've got nothing to hide
|
And I know you didn't mean it that way
|
'cause we're just friends
|
|
We're friends, that's all we are
|
And that's all we'll ever be
|
Is friends
|
And we can split the cheque
|
But we'll never bring the conversation
|
Around to you and me
|
If I see your hand upon me
|
It's no reason for alarm
|
I realize you must have seen
|
Something walking down my arm
|
And I know you didn't mean it that way
|
'cause we're 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
|
We'd have a lot of trouble
|
And we'd end up in confusion
|
And we'd 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
|
We've got to keep a little distance
|
And just be friends
|
|
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh
|
|
So I'll try to understand
|
When I feel your arm around my back
|
That you really meant to do something else
|
But somehow you've gotten off the track
|
'Cause I know you didn't mean it that way
|
'cause we're just friends
|
|
I know you didn't mean it that way
|
Oh I know, you didn't mean it that way
|
Yes I know, you didn't mean it that way
|
'cause we're just friends
|
