[Verse 1]
Telling me sitting here
Why must we be so confused?
When all I wanna do, girl
Is be the man in your life
Funny you've made it clear
That you just can't up and move
But the truth is I kept a secret, too
So, I'm not raising blame
More it's just changing lanes
'Cause we're at this flow at road
But before we do, listen girl

[Chorus]
I wanna cherish this moment (baby)
Go after the love that's been good
Don't let it slip away
We can pass through the blink of an eye (oh my baby baby baby yeah)
I'm rolling your body tonight (don't it feel good?)
Wanna give you girl what you like (see my baby, yeah yeah)
There's no reason why we can't be lovers and friends
Lovers and friends

[Verse 2]
Ain't no charge on the phone
When we're taking to the room
We step into our dream world
And be like husband and wife
Washed up and we go
And then we're both are through
That is over
When I am done with you
Ain't got with you
Never planned for a kiss
Didn't caught up like this
But I've got to let you go
And it's so hard to

[Chorus]
I wanna cherish this moment
Go after the love that's been good
Don't let it slip away
Just through the blink of an eye (Make it last, make it last)
I'm rolling your body tonight
Wanna give you girl what you like
There's no reason why we can't be lovers and friends
Lovers and friends

There's no reason, baby
We can't be lovers, yeah
We can't be friends, yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna cherish this moment
Go after the love that's been good
Don't let it slip away
We can pass through the blink of an eye
I'm rolling your body tonight
Wanna give you girl what you like
There's no reason why we can't be lovers and friends
Lovers and friends
