Lyrics
[Verse 1] Drawing back the curtains Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon... Here's that special silence Just before you walk out of the hotel room Each time we're so close I assume That we'll never be again [Refrain] Oh, how long must we pretend [Verse 2] A casual affair is all that you can spare From your emotional change; A calendar of meetings, strangers on the street The best we ever arrange Now I just can't stand all the pain All the constant make and mend: [Refrain] Oh, how long can we pretend That we're just good friends? [Chorus] I gave you my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me leave? So much tangled-up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? Are we such good friends? [Verse 4] Oh, how sordid this has become As the means approach the end – [Refrain] And how long can we pretend [Chorus] I gave you my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me leave? So much tangled-up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? [Outro] Are we still good friends?
