Just Good Friends Lyrics

Just Good Friends lyrics

(dick/usher/boult/simmonds)



There's something I want to ask you

Before it's too late,

It's been on my mind since the first time we
met

It scares me now more, now there's more at stake,

It seems
we're so close yet so far away.



Could you turn me down gently
would i

Be out of order,

If I declared my true feelings or do i

Act out the part,

Of the father confessor of the shoulder to cry on

We're always so close yet so far away



Chorus: what would you do
if I got down

On my knees to you

Would you hold it against me,

Would you stand in line? 

What would you do if i

Opened my heart
to you,

Would I be another who's wasting his time,

Darling are we
just good friends? 



Do I really need to ask you

I'm sure
that you know by now,

Do we just play a game where we try to pretend,

That all that's between us is all that's between us,

And all we can
rely on is just being good friends.



(chorus)



So are
we left to chance meetings,

Is that all we can depend on? 

Resigned
to raise glasses in anonymous cafes,

Reciting our failures as if we
needed

Proof or regret,

Over what might have

And what should
have been, darling, are we just good friends?
