[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
