I've known you for so long
you are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
And babe is this all we ever could be

*You tell me things I'll never know
I'll show you love you've never shown
and then again where you go
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
that makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've know you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now I know friends
are all we ever could be

(Repeat * except last line)
But then again, then again
then again I'm glad
