If We Can’t Be Lovers

[Verse 1]
You're telling me you love someone else
I'm happy for you, but I'm sorry for myself
But you and I will stay the best of friends
This love of ours has reached an end

[Pre-Chorus]
We could still like each other, speak when we pass by
Though I'm with another girl, and you with another guy

[Chorus]
If we can't be lovers, oh girl, we can be friends, oh yes
Though this love of ours is over, all over
Don't mean our friendship ends, no, no baby

[Verse 2]
It was nice, ooh, just loving you
There werе good and bad times too
And now you must go your way, oh yeah
Therе's one thing that will always stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Parting is such sweet sorrow, I never like to say goodbye
Though I know that come tomorrow, I'll break down and cry

[Chorus]
If we can't be lovers, oh baby, let's be friends, oh, baby
Though this love of ours is over
Don't mean our friendship ends, ooh

[Bridge]
We went through so much together
No more, let me take your place
And though I might have a lot of good times
But we remember we can never ever erase it

[Interlude]
Whoo! Oh, no
Hmm, ooh, yeah
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
We could still like each other, speak when we pass by
If I'm with another girl, and you with another guy

[Chorus]
If we can't be lovers, oh baby, we can be friends
Though this love of ours is over, all over
Don't mean our friendship gotta end, no, no, ooh!
If we can't be lovers, oh baby, please, let's be friends
Oh, forever and ever
Go on and leave me baby, walk on, go on, oh
I'm gonna love you still
You can't take back the love you gave me, no, no, no
