Why are we fighting?   Why do we scream?   Seems all we do now   Is treat each other mean      We used to be so understanding   About each others ways   And since we've come together   Seems all we do is get in each other's way      We're better friends than lovers   We used to have a ball   Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks   We don't have to lose it all      We're better friends than lovers   Honey can't you see?   You need you and I, I need me   So it's time now to set each other free      You get mad if guys stare at me   And I'm mad if girls look   I don't believe we're ready now   For living by this book      The things we love about us   Are the things we seem to hate   And when we go out for good times   We just come home with big headaches      We're better friends than lovers   We used to have a ball   Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks   'Cause we don't have to lose it all      We're better friends than lovers   Honey can't you see   You need you and I, I really need me   So it's time now to set each other free      We were both out there fishing   We weren't ready to care   And no room in our hearts for love   To love each other back, let's get back      We're better friends than lovers   We used to have a ball   Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks   'Cause we don't have to lose it all      Better friends than lovers   Sugar can't you see?   You need you and I really need me   So it's time now really      We're so much better friends   We used to have a ball   'Til the friendship breaks   We don't have to lose it all      We're better friends than lovers   Baby can't you see   You need you and I really need me   So it's time now ohh yes, ohh really      We're so much better friends   I don't believe you anymore   We don't have to lose it all
