We Can't Be Friends

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, no no no) We can't be friends (Deborah, you know I can't go on being just your friend, yeah) We can't be friends 'Cause I'm still in love with you 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 'Cause 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 (We, oh no, no, no, no) We can't be friends (We, if we, if we can't be lovers) We can't be friends (We, 'cause I'm still in love) 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 might just steal a kiss If you come near my face What I'm trying to say We can't be friends Can you look me in the eyes And honestly say you don't love me? Said, "Do you know" "R.L. I know" I'll never, ever find another love like you, oh no I love you too much, baby I love you too much, oh We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you, with you I am, still in love You didn't have to leave With you
