Next - We Can't Be Friends lyrics

<i>[RL]</i>

To just act like we never were

To come around and not show hurt

How dare we greet by shaking hands

Just months ago, I was your man, was your man

Verbally we'd agreed it was over

And we were through

I'm trying to compose myself

But I just can't get over you, girl

We can't be friends

(Yeah, no oh)

We can't be friends

(Deborah, you know I can't go on being just your friend, yeah)

We can't be friends

Cuz I'm still in love with you

<i>[Deborah]</i>

I went by mother's, saw your car there

To her you're still family

And it don't seem fair

For everyone to just go on

And I've tried and I can't do it

Cuz I'm still torn

I tried to think of you as just another love

In my past that didn't last

But it's not that simple, baby

We can't be friends

(oh no, no, no, no)

We can't be friends

(If we, if we can't be lovers)

We can't be friends

Cuz I'm still in love with you

<i>[Both]</i>

You may see me staring

Or catch me in a daze

May see me hang my head

When you come my way

Don't get too close to me

And expect me to behave

<i>[RL ]</i> I might just steal a kiss

<i>[Both]</i> If you come near my face

What I'm trying to say

Repeat 1 while:

<i>[RL ]</i> We can't be friends

<i>[Dc ]</i> Can you look me in the eyes

and honestly say you dont love me?

<i>[RL ]</i> Said do you know

<i>[Dc ]</i> R.L. I know

<i>[Both]</i> I'll never ever find another love like you, oh no

<i>[RL ]</i> I love you too much baby

<i>[Dc ]</i> I love you too much, oh

<i>[Both]</i> We can't be friends, I'm still in love

<i>[Dc ]</i> with you

<i>[RL ]</i> With you

<i>[Dc ]</i> I am

<i>[RL ]</i> Still in love

<i>[dc ]</i> Still in love

<i>[RL ]</i> You didn't have to leave

<i>[Both]</i> With you
