This might come as quite a shock But I've given it a lot of thought This thing that's come between us can't be ignored I've taken all I can This is where it's gotta end Cause I can't be your friend anymore And I can't be accused Of not bein' there for you How many nights have you shown up at my door I hope you understand That this wasn't in my plans But I can't be your friend anymore And it's killing me to know you Without havin' a chance to hold you An' all I wanna do is show you How I really feel inside You can run to me You can laugh at me Or you can walk right out that door But I can't be your friend anymore So, baby, now it's up to you Do I win or do I lose Will my heart fly or lie broken on the floor Well, take me as I am Cause I wanna be your man But I can't be your friend anymore And' it's killing me to know you Without havin' a chance to hold you An' all I wanna do is show you How I really feel inside You can run to me You can laugh at me Or you can walk right out that door But I can't be just friends anymore We can't be just friends anymore
