We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know, it's all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends? (Can we still be friends?)
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends? (Can we still be friends?)

It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems that we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

Dannana etc
Can we still be friends
Can we still get together sometimes?
Hey babe, can we still go on and on and on?

We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song

Dannana etc, Can we still be friends

Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
