We Can't Be Friends [LP Version]

[Verse 1: R.L.]

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 (I was your man)

[Pre-Chorus: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with R.L.]

Verbally, we agreed it was over

And we were through

I'm trying to compose myself

But I just can't get over you, girl

[Chorus: R.L.]

We can't be friends

(Oh 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 you, ooh, ooh

(Yeah)

[Verse 2: Deborah Cox]

I went by mother's house, 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 torn

[Verse 3: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with Deborah Cox]

I've tried to think of you as just another love (Another love)

In the past (In my past), that didn't last

But it's not that simple, baby

[Chorus: Deborah Cox]

We can't be friends

(Oh no, no, no)

We can't be friends

If we, if we can't be lovers

We can't be friends

'Cause I'm still in love

[Bridge: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with R.L.]

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 to close to me and expect me to behave

I might just still a kiss if you come near my face

What I'm trying to say

[Chorus: Deborah Cox, R.L., & Both]

(We can't be friends)

(Oh, oh) We can't be friends

Can you look me in the eyes

And honestly say you don't love me? Oh, oh

(Deborah, you know, oh, oh, oh, oh)

We can't be friends (R.L. I know)

(I'll never, ever find another love like you, oh) We can't be friends

I love you too much, baby

I love you too much, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (Woah)

We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you

With you

I am

Still in love

Still in love (You're making it hard for me)

With you
