We Can't Be Friends Lyrics

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 manVerbally we'd agreed it was over
And we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just can't get over you, girlWe can't be friends
(Yeah, 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 youI 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
'Cause I'm still tornI tried to think of you as just another love
In my past that didn't last

But it's not that simple, babyWe can't be friends
(We, oh no, no, no, no)
We can't be friends
(We, if we, if we can't be lovers)
We can't be friends
(We, '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 wayDon'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 sayWe can't be friends
Can you look me in the eyes
And honestly say you don't love me?
Said, "Do you know" "R.L. I know"I'll never, ever find another love like you, oh no
I love you too much, baby
I love you too much, oh
We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you, with youI am, still in love
You didn't have to leave
With you
