Girl, this may sound funny
'Cause we've been friends for so long
But lately, I've been feeling something
Coming on real strong
Oh, you've been looking better to me
Than you ever have before
We should get together
Turn our friendship into more
Oh, girl, do you remember
How it was when we were kids?
The secrets shared together
And the crazy things we did
Well, you've become a beautiful woman
I've grown up to be a man
I can't keep this secret
And I know you understand
That it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush
It's such a crime to waste time beatin' around the bush
I spent days and weeks, months and years
Just waiting for your touch
And it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush
Well, we've known each other like sister and brother
We've touched in almost every single way with one another
We've worked together, we've played together
Love's the only thing we haven't made together
Yeah, yeah
Now you know my feelings
And I can see how you feel too
My heart's out in the open
With just one thing left to do
Oh, girl, it's clear, the time is here
To end this waiting game
For us to let this chance go by
Would be a crying shame
And it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush
(This is the right time)
It's such a crime to waste time beatin' around the bush
(Don't wanna waste time)
I spent days and weeks, months and years
(I've been waiting for your touch)
Just waiting for your touch (I've been waiting)
It's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush
Gotta stop beatin' around the bush
Oh yeah
Stop beatin' around the bush
Oh, I'm so hungry for your touch
'Cause I want your love so much
I can almost taste it
Listen to me
Come on, girl, now
