Lyrics:
Do you remember when we promised to be
Lovers till the end of time
But now you’re expecting to suddenly be
A casual acquaintance, a friend of mine
Whenever we’re together I have to remember
That we’re just friends
We’re only friends
You think that’s so easy to do
You think that we’ll see it through

Do you remember that night in November
We made angels in the snow that froze
Nobody knows me the way that you do
I want to spend my life with you
I can’t ask you to stay only see you by day
Cause we’re just friends,
We’re only friends
And friends only say goodnight
Friends never spend the night

I’m tossing, I’m turning, I’m counting my sheep
But I can’t get to sleep
I never will until you come back and stop playing this game
I think it’s a shame to waste the night
I can’t argue with you and we can’t have a fight
‘Cause we‘re just friends, we’re only friends
And friends always stay polite
Friends always say you’re right
…you’re right.

Don’t you remember Sunday mornings in bed
I can’t get the pictures out of my head
Don’t know how you think this could ever work out
This feeling so near and yet so far
I know this is just a romantic idea
Cause we’re just friends, we’re only friends
But couldn’t we just this once, couldn’t we just this once
Couldn’t we just this once
Couldn’t we just this once
