Why Can't We Be Lovin' Friends

Ooohooohooooh
Oh yeah
Wanna know right now somebody
Yeah
Girl I should’ve seen the handwriting on the wall
Oh but sometimes you can’t see the forest from the trees
I almost break up in my self, I will set up everything, yes
Earlier one day, my love I’ve been waiting and waiting baby
I was called by surprise, she didn’t even say goodbye
After we had a night serious night, I thought everything was alright
But earlier one thing morning (Earlier one thing morning)
All I could think was a note that she wrote behind saying
«We can’t be lovers, Why can’t we be lovin' friends»
Ooohooohooooh
I wanna know, right now tell me, why’d you have to go?
I need to know baby
You know, you should’ve known that you reap just what you sow
You see what’s done in the dark surely come to light
How did you think that I would stay after you treated me that way?
I gave all that I could give, hurt me anytime again, oh yeah
But you just don’t keep hurting once that you love
What else is a woman to do?
I am failed to be full to love
I know one day you’ll see the kind of man
That you won’t be found in me, oh baby
Tell my why, why can’t we be lovin' friends?
Yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah yeah
Come on baby
Earlier one thing morning (Earlier one thing morning)
All I could think was a note that she left behind saying
«We can’t be lovers baby, Why can’t we be lovin' friends»
Baby, tell me
If we can’t be lovers, I really hope that we can be lovin' friends
I wanna know
Oh yeah
Why can’t we?
Why won’t we be lovin' friends?
Oh yeah
I’m so sorry baby
Although we can
I wanna know
It was grievin' baby
Tell me why did she rid baby
I wanna know
Right now tell me
Why can’t we be lovin' friends?
Oh no
In the morning baby
When I wake up and reach fight with you in my bed
I’ll forget on my phone records on my friends about you
'Cause I wanna know, I wanna know that you’re looking for no reason baby
Oh no I’ve got to know right now
Why did you leave me sugar?
Said I wanna know
Why did you have to go?
Why did you leave?
I wanna know
Baby tell me
Why did you leave?
Why did you go?
I wanna know tell me
Baby tell me, tell me baby
It’s the thought I had of all that get right on my head but you see
You left me all alone, now I’m soaking wet and I wake up in the morning
