Lyrics

I think sometimes I can read your mind When you make things up I can tell you lie I see the things that your man can't see And I wonder what kind of man is he The one who you say is your lover Who you insist takes care of you under the covers And who is there for you and loves you like no other Then you kiss and tell me that you love me like a brother If I didn't know better I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time If I didn't know better I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again If I didn't know better I'd think we were in love Girl, do you wanna tell me something Oh, oh, oh I could be wrong about the things you say But I don't rub up on my friends that way You tell me that you've always been a flirt But if it goes wrong, I could get hurt But no, you insist it's harmless playin' It's just a part of who you are, that it's just your nature And that it's fine You know I'm a friend, it's really nothing You say that I'm just like a... That I'm just like a brother If I didn't know better I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time If I didn't know better I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again If I didn't know better I'd think we were in love Girl, do you wanna tell me something Oh, oh, oh My idea of a friend is when you Do a lotta things together and have a lotta fun But my definition of love is different You touch and hold each other And you only want to be alone clinging to each other Like you and he should be, but like you and I are Well, I know it sounds crazy but... If I didn't know better I'd think that you were mine, you're with me all the time If I didn't know better I'd swear we're more than friends, you're touching me again If I didn't know better I'd think we were in love Girl, do you wanna tell me something Oh, oh, oh
