[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
