Please don't hang up on me for I just call to say   That I'm leaveing and I won't be back again   And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time   Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend   Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me   But just for the old time sake leave me a memory do this for me   And please would you take my hand and just kiss me once again   Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend   Well thanks darling anyway no you can't break your date   And plans can't wait and broken hearts can'r mend   So bye bye be a sweet girl and think of me sometime   Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend   Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me   But just for the sake of my aching heart say something sweet to me for I used to be   Your one and your only love and it hurts to see it end   Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend   Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend
