Just Friends

[Verse 1: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson]

You and me, we've traded hearts

I guess that's how it always starts out

And then I guess it always ends

Look at us now, sayin'

[Chorus: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson]

I don't think that you and me can just be friends

Maybe this is how the whole thing has to just end

[Verse 2: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson]

And if we could have loved enough

We would have handled when it got rough

But one of us let go too soon

So here we are (Here we are)

Now, sayin'

[Chorus: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson]

I don't think that you and me can just be friends

Maybe this is how the whole thing has to just end

(I wish you'd understand)

[Bridge: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson]

It's funny how when love has gone

There's only one left holding on

When someone's always hurtin' more

Still lonely for the other

Sayin'

[Chorus: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson]

I don't think that you and me can just be friends

I don't ever wanna feel so much again

Feel again

Unless it's you (You) again

[Post-Chorus: Carole Bayer Sager, Michael Jackson]

(La-da-dee, la-da-dee-dah-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah, la)

I guess that's how it always starts out

And then I guess it always ends

Look at us (Look at us) now (Now) sayin'

[Chorus: Carole Bayer Sager & Michael Jackson]

I don't think that you and me can just be friends

Maybe this is how the whole thing has to just end

[Outro: Michael Jackson]

La-da-dee, la-da-dee-dah-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah, la, la
