Lyrics
Baby, there's somethin'
I've been wantin' to tell you.
Come here a minute
And sit down, will you?
I'm gonna speak my mind.
You know, they say that Love is blind.
But did they never tell you -
from experience I know it's true,
That Loneliness (loneliness)
doesn't even have eyes.
I didn't mean to lead you
to believe it was otherwise
Let me lay it on the line:
Oh, couldn't we just be Friends, baby?
Couldn't we just be friends, babe?
Now, I'm not tryin' to turn you away
But pretending's a game I just can't play -
Couldn't we just be Friends?
Couldn't we just be Friends?
Baby, Baby
I was alone (alone)
and you (you) were so kind.
I never planned to hurt you, Babe -
I reaIly thought I loved you.
It was only (only) unintentional lies
But I know now,I could neverlove you
even though I tried.
Now Baby, please don't cry.
Oh, couldn't we just be Friends, Baby?
Couldn't we just be Friends, Babe?
Now, I'm not tryin' to turn you away
But pretending's a game I just can't play
Couldn't we just be Friends?
Couldn't we just be Friends?
Baby, Baby...
I'm not sayin' good-by but
Couldn't we just be Friends, Baby?
Couldn't we just be Friends, Babe?
