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 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

Oh, 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, ooh, ooh, yeah

I went by my mother's house, 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've tried to think of you as just another love (Another love)

Another love in my past

In the past that didn't last

But it's not that simple, baby

We can't be friends

Oh, no, no, no

We can't be friends

If we, if we can't be lovers

We can't be friends

'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

We can't be friends

Can you look me in the eyes?

We can't be friends

And honestly say you don't love me? Oh, oh

Deborah, you know, oh, oh, oh, oh

We can't be friends

R.L. I know

I'll never, ever find another love like you, oh

We can't be friends

I love you too much, baby

I love you too much, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you, oh

With you, oh

I am

Still in love

Still in love

You're making it hard for me

With you
