We do almost everything that lovers do
and that's why it's hard just to be friends with you
every time your heart is broken by the fool
I want you to know that it hurts me too
it's hard to wipe your tears away
knowing that you should be with me.

Now tell me why, why are we still friends
when everything says
we should be more than we are
and tell me why
every time I find someone that I like
we always end up just being friends

I would hate for you to find somebody new
who you really love
because it would mean losing you
but I'm a fool girl, I'm the same
If I'm always scared
I'll lose you anyway
Somehow, somewhere I've got to choose
No matter if it's win or lose.

Now tell me why, why are we still friends
when everything says
we should be more than we are
and tell me why
every time I find
someone that I like
We always end up just being friends

I don't want to be like your brother
I don't want to be your best friend
I only want to be your lover
when will this end
if I told you that I want to be in your life
then you could be the woman and mine

Now tell me why, why are we still friends,
when everything says
we should be more than we are
and tell me why
every time I find
someone that I like
we always end up just being..
So tell me why, (tell me) why are we still friends (are we still friends)
when everything says
we should be (we should be more) more than we are
and tell me why (tell me why)
every time I find (every time) someone that I like
we always end up just being friends
