How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
Look at us now, look at us baby
Still trying to work it out, never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Ohhh.. when theres no comunication
Ohhh... it's a no win situation
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends, tell me
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we've got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Ohhh... ain't it time we started trying
Ohhh... gotta stop this love from dying
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
Baby love is tough but we can take it
How can we be lovers
Baby times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends, tell me
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends, baby
How can we make love if we can't make amends
