(R.L.:)
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

Verbally we'd
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
'Cause I'm still
In love with you

(Deborah Cox:)
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
'Cause 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

1:
We can't be friends
(Oh no, no, no, no)
We can't be friends
(If we
If we can't be lovers)
We can't be friends
'Cause I'm still
In love with you

(R.L. and Deborah Cox:)
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

(R.L.:)
I might just steal a kiss
(R.L. and Deborah Cox:)
If you come near my face
What I'm trying to say

Repeat 1

(R.L.:)
We can't be friends

(Deborah Cox:)
Can you look me in the eyes
And honestly say
You don't love me'

(R.L.:)
Said do you know'

(Deborah Cox:)
R.L. I know

(R.L. and Deborah Cox:)
I'll never ever find another
Love like you, oh no

(R.L.:)
I love you too much baby

(Deborah Cox:)
I love you too much, oh

(R.L. and Deborah Cox:)
We can't be friends
I'm still in love

(Deborah Cox:)
With you

(R.L.:)
With you

(Deborah Cox:)
I am

(R.L.:)
Still in love

(Deborah Cox:)
Still in love

(R.L.:)
You didn't have to leave

(R.L. and Deborah Cox:)
With you
