We Could Never Be Friends (Cause We've Been Lovers Too Long)

(album: Cherish - 1972)

I kind-a die inside
Everytime you're with someone new.
You need to be so free,
So be free, but hey! Free me too.
Don't intend to be caught in the end
Of a dream going down.
Love, with a love like you,
Now who needs a friend around.
I'm telling ya...
I'm packing up my junk in a trunk,
And I'm leaving town
And I'm homeward bound

Love, you and me, we can never be friends,
Never be friends,
It's too unfriendly like.
Love, don't cha see we can never be friends.
We've been lovers so long... so long

Time after time,
I waste my time,
Trying to be true to you.
Dime after dime
I waste my dime
Trying to get through to you
Just to say "hey, maybe today
We can start again."
Just to see it all
Come falling apart again
I'm telling ya...
I'm checking out,
I doubt if we'll make it
Together again... ever again.
