Please excuse my religion  Excuse the ceremony and the show  When I first gave in to Your advances  You were wanting to get closer than I'd know  But I'll allow it for a moment  For just a moment I'll come near  Long enough to say those words  That all men are taught to fear  (Chorus)  I think we'd be better off as friends  I think that should be where it ends  Ther's no complicated reason  Just as simple as sin  I think we'd be better off as friends  Please excuse my reluctance  Turn Your eyes away from my embarassed grin  Never gone this far before  Don't think I could ever go this way again  So I'll just raise my head  And look deep into Your eyes  And offer You those words  I've been conditioned to despise  (Chorus)  I wanted flowers  You were buying me a ring  I wanted candy  You were giving everything  (Chorus)  You took my breath away  Don't think that I have denied it  But this heart You've stolen, Sir  Do You think we could divide it?
