(R.L, from Next:)
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{was your man}
{Verbally we agreed it was over and we were thRough}-R.L and Deborah
Im trying to compose my self
But I just cant get over you

(Chorus:)
We can't be friends
We can't be friends
DeboRAh you know I can't go on being just ur friend
We can't be friends
Cuz Im still in love with you

(Deborah Cox:)
I went by mAMA'S saw you car there
To her your still family and it don't seem fair
For everyone to just go on
I've tried and I can't do it
Cuz I'm still torn
I've tried to think of you as just another love {another love}
In my past,THAT DIDN'T LAST, but its not that simple baby

(Chorus:)
We can't be friends {No,no no, no}
We can't be friends {If we, if we can't be lovers}
We can't be friends
Cuz I'm still in love with you

(Bridge:)
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 steal kiss
If you come near my face
What i'm tryin' to say

(Chorus:)
We cant be friends
Can you look me in the eyes and honestly say you dont love me, I know
We can't be friends
Deborah you know
R.L I know
We can't be friends
I'll never ever find another love like YOU
We can't be friends
I love you too much baby, I love you too much
We can't be friends, Cause i'm still in love with you.
