We Can’t Be Friends [LP Version]

Lyrics

[Verse 1: R.L.] 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 (I was your man) [Pre-Chorus: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with R.L.] Verbally, we agreed it was over And we were through I'm trying to compose myself But I just can't get over you, girl [Chorus: R.L.] We can't be friends (Oh no, oh no, no, no) We can't be friends (Deborah, you know I can't go on being just your friend, yeah) We can't be friends 'Cause I'm still in love with you, ooh, ooh (Yeah) [Verse 2: Deborah Cox] I went by mother's house, saw your car there To her you're still family, and it don't seem fair For everyone to just go on And I've tried and I can't do it 'Cause I'm still torn [Verse 3: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with Deborah Cox] I've tried to think of you as just another love (Another love) In the past (In my past), that didn't last But it's not that simple, baby [Chorus: Deborah Cox] We can't be friends (Oh no, no, no) We can't be friends If we, if we can't be lovers We can't be friends 'Cause I'm still in love [Bridge: R.L. & Deborah Cox, with R.L.] 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 still a kiss if you come near my face What I'm trying to say [Chorus: Deborah Cox, R.L., & Both] (We can't be friends) (Oh, oh) We can't be friends Can you look me in the eyes And honestly say you don't love me? Oh, oh (Deborah, you know, oh, oh, oh, oh) We can't be friends (R.L. I know) (I'll never, ever find another love like you, oh) We can't be friends I love you too much, baby I love you too much, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (Woah) We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you With you I am Still in love Still in love (You're making it hard for me) With you
