We've always been so close together Doing things that only best friends should Always there for one another Through the bad times and the good The other night you held me close Need to know did Have We just cross the line? This other side feels so right Won't you tell me why [CHORUS:] Why? Why? Why do friends to Lovers take so long And when they come around They finally find a love forever strong Why? Why? Why were you so near And yet so far How could I be so blind When all the time I was in your heart Here we go, here we go, Move to the beat and go with the flow, Come, come, Gimme, gimme, come gimme more Move to the beat pump up the tempo. For so long I've been searching For a love I call my own Now I know I was only waiting For the face I've always known I believe what Heaven is Just like this every time we kiss Deep inside feel so high Won't you tell me why [Repeat chorus] As we do it's with integrity v-v-v-v-i-i-p-p-p We're young fresh, wise born celebrities, mna, mna move your be -be -body Now that I stop and think about it How did I ever live without Your warm and gentle touch I needed it so much (Chorus)
