Guess we always knew
Best of friends, we'd always be
Sister and brother, we two
Romance never entered our view

Always you were there, hey hey
When I needed you
Suddenly out of nowhere
I realized, I loved only you

And that's how, true love begins
It just walks right on in
And one day I knew
It was you it was you, it was always you

Baby, in the end
I've got you as lover and friend
Darling in the end
I've got you as lover and friend

Funny, how it goes
We'd been a last to know
We were made for each other
And from friends, we became lovers

Keep on being my friend
Our love will never end
We'll have it all
Yes we will, yes we will, yes we will

In the end
I've got you as lover and friend, yeah
Darling in the end
I've got you as lover and friend

Oh, keep on being my friend
Our love will never end
We'll have it all
Yes we will, yes we will, yes we will

In the end
I've got you as lover and friend, yeah
Darling in the end
I've got you as lover and friend

We're gonna have a happy ending
Yes, we started out with such a great beginning
We'll walk together, talk together in every kind of weather
We're bound together, forever, yeah

Baby, in the end
I've got you as lover and friend
