Just Good Friends |
| Drawing back the curtains, |
| Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon… |
| Here’s that special silence, |
| Just before you walk out of the hotel room. |
| Each time we’re so close I assume |
| That we’ll never be again — |
| Oh, how long can we pretend |
| That we’re just good friends? |
| A casual affair is all that you can spare |
| From your emotional change; |
| A calendar of meetings, |
| Strangers on the street |
| The best we ever arrange. |
| Now I just can’t stand all the pain, |
| All the constant make and mend; |
| How long must we pretend |
| That we’re just good friends? |
| I gave you my devotion, |
| Hiding nothing up my sleeve — |
| If I walked clean out of your life |
| Would you even notice me leave? |
| So much tangled-up emotion, |
| Should I stay or should I go? |
| If I walked clean out of your life |
| How long would it take you know? |
| Are we such good friends? |
| You used to say 'I love you', |
| You used to say 'You make me |
| Feel alive and young'; |
| Now we’re just a habit, a flavour, |
| One a month, |
| To titillate your tongue. |
| How sordid this has become |
| As the means approach the end — |
| Oh, how long can we pretend |
| That we’re still good friends |
