Deborah Cox feat. R.L. Lyrics
"We Can't Be Friends"

[RL]
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
Verbaly we agreed it was over
And we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just can't get over you, girl

We can't be friends
(Yeah, no oh)
We can't be friends
(Deborah, you know I can't go on being just your friend, yeah)
We can't be friends
Cuz I'm still in love with you

[Deb]
I went by mother's, 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
Cuz I'm still torn

I tried to think of you as just another love
In my past that didn't last
But it's not that simple, baby

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
Cuz I'm still in love

[Both]
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 too close to me
And expect me to behave

[RL ] I might just steal a kiss
[Both] If you come near my face
What I'm trying to say

Repeat 1 while:
[RL ] We can't be friends
[Deb ] Can you look me in the eyes
and honestly say you dont love me?
[RL ] deborah you know
[Deb ] R.L. I know
[Both] I'll never ever find another love like you, oh no
[RL ] I love you too much baby
[Deb ] I love you too much, oh
[Both] We can't be friends, I'm still in love
[Deb ] with you
[RL ] With you
