Lyrics Don't Ask Me To Be Friends - Teddy Thompson

Don't Ask Me To Be Friends

After all we’ve been
To one another
How can we become
Like sister and brother
Darling, I beg of you
If our love must end
Ask me to forget you
But don’t ask me to be friends
After being the one
That you took pride in
I just couldn’t be
The friend you confide in
If it’s goodbye for us
We’ll never meet again
Ask me to forget you
But don’t ask me to be friends
Wanting you so badly
Needing you like this
How can I just look at
The lips that I used to kiss
If there’s someone else
Don’t let me see him
'Cause I’ll spend my life
Wishing I could be him
Darling, I beg of you
If our love must end
Ask me to forget you
But don’t ask me to be friends
If there’s someone else
Don’t let me see him
'Cause I’ll spend my life
Just wishing I could be him
Darling, I beg of you
If our love must end
Ask me, ask me anything
But don’t ask me to be friends
