We two were sweethearts but we said goodbye
One with a handshake and one with a sigh
We two were sweethearts by a sacred vow
What are we now?
What are we now?
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
And suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're just friends
I thought I'd found the man of my dreams
Now it seems
This is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "Can't we be friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long
I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "Can't we be friends?"
Never again
Through with love
Through with men
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame
I thought I found a man I could trust
What a bust
This is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down
And say "Can't we be friends?"
Two friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
And suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're just friends
