I said I’d take you out, I said I’d treat you right,
I said I’d get you home before the morning light,
But you said, “Hey, let’s just be friends.”
I said I’d buy you flowers, I said I’d buy you rings,
I said I’d buy you teddy bears and other little things,
But you said, “Hey, let’s just be friends.”
Well I’ve got friends, they’re all alright,
But they don’t keep me warm in the middle of the night.
I just need a lover — please! I’ve got friends — all I need.
I said that we’d be sweet, I said that we’d be right,
I said that we’d have chemistray to get us through the night,
But you said, “Hey, let’s just be friends.”
Well I’ve got friends, they’re all alright,
But they don’t keep me warm in the middle of the night.
I need a lover — please! I’ve got friends — all I need.
Skibideebopadoo!
