Don't you know
That it cuts both ways
When you're leaving your love
On the outside
She cried - all night long
Don't leave me this way
I tried not to cross that line
When she told me how much
She needed me
I held her all night long –
'Til break of day
Come break of day we were
Lovers and friends
And then I knew she was mine
We were lovers and friends we
Would fight till the end
Ignore our hearts and we'd
Surely lose our mind
We were lovers, we were lovers
We were lovers and friends
Well you know
That I changed my ways
By keeping it all on the inside
I tried – every day –
To hide it away
I thought I could walk that line
But you know
That I fell down time on time
Now I guess – I can't stand –
To leave you this way
Well we both knew that someday
It would end
Oh it's just a matter of time
We were lovers and friends we
Would fight till the end
Ignore our hearts and we'd
Surely lose our mind
We were lovers and friends we
Would fight till the end
Ignore our hearts and we'd
Surely lose our mind
We were lovers, we were lovers
We were lovers and friends
Don't you know that it cuts
Both ways
