Just Good Friends lyrics

Drawing back the curtains

Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon

Here's that special silence

Just before you walk out of the hotel room

Each time we're so close I assume

That we'll never be again

Oh, how long must we pretend?

A casual affair

Was all that you could spare

From your emotional change

A calendar of greetings

Strangers on the street

The best we've ever arranged

Now I just can't stand all the pain

All the constant break and mend

Oh, how long can we pretend

That we're just good friends?

I gave you my devotion

Hiding nothing up my sleeve

If I walked clean out of your life

Would you even notice me?

So much tangled up emotion

Should I stay or should I go?

If I walked clean out of your life

How long would it take you to know?

Are we such good friends?

And how sordid this has become

As the means approach the end

And how long can we pretend?

I gave my devotion

Hiding nothing up my sleeve

If I walked clean out of your life

Would you even notice me?

So much tangled up emotion

Should I stay or should I go?

If I walked clean out of your life

How long would it take you to know?

If I walked clean out of your life

How long would it take you to know?

Are we still good friends?
