In our childhood days
Together we would play
People said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
My protective friend
He would always take good care of me
Friends, that's what we are, just friends
No more or less so we were young
And sharing so much fun
Friends, that's all we'll be, just friends
Why can't he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Years have come and gone
Still our friendship's strong
Now he's more than just the boy next door
I'm in love with him
Guess I've always been
He doesn't know he's all I'm living for
Friends, that's all we are, just friends
So near yet so far from love
And all the joy that it can bring
Friends, that's all we'll be, just friends
Why can't he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
I'd like to tell him that I need him back
But I'm afraid if I do I might lose
The only friend that I have
Friends, that's all we are, just friends
So near yet so far from love
Though must we always remain friends
That's all we'll be, just friends
Why can't he see that I want us
To be more than just friends
That's all we are, just friends
