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

verbably 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
(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

[Deb]

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

[Both]

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

[RL ] I might just steal a kiss
[Both] If you come near my face
What I??™m trying to say

Repeat 1 while:
[RL ] We can??™t be friends
[Deb ] Can you look me in the eyes
and honestly say you dont love me?
[RL ] Said do you know
[Deb ] RL I know
[Both] I??™ll never ever find another love like you, oh no
[RL ] I love you too much baby
[Deb ] I love you too much, oh
[Both] We can??™t be friends, I??™m still in love
[Deb ] with you
[RL ] With you
[Deb ] I am
[RL ] Still in love
[Deb ] Still in love
[RL ] You didn??™t have to leave
[Both] With you
