(Dick/Usher/Boult/Simmonds) N.B: Rereleased in 1995 with Special Guest Vocal by Sam Brown, There is otherwise no difference in the lyrical content There's something I want to ask you Before it's too late It's been on my mind since the first time we met It scares me now more, now there's more at stake It seems we're so close yet so far away What would you do if I got down On my knees to you Would you hold it against me Would you stand in line? What would you do if I Opened my heart to you Would I be another who's wasting his time Darling are we just good friends? Could you turn me down gently would I Be out of order If I declared my true feelings or do I Act out the part Of the father confessor of the shoulder to cry on We're always so close yet so far away What would you do if I got down On my knees to you Would you hold it against me Would you stand in line? What would you do if I Opened my heart to you Would I be another who's wasting his time
Darling are we just good friends? What would you do if I got down On my knees to you Would you hold it against me Would you stand in line? What would you do if I Opened my heart to you Would I be another who's wasting his time Darling are we just good friends? Do I really need to ask you I'm sure that you know by now Do we just play a game where we try to pretend That all that's between us is all that's between us And all we can rely on is just being good friends What would you do if I got down On my knees to you Would you hold it against me Would you stand in line? What would you do if I Opened my heart to you Would I be another who's wasting his time Darling are we just good friends? So are we left to chance meetings Is that all we can depend on? Resigned to raise gla**es in anonymous cafes Reciting our failures as if we needed Proof or regret Over what might have And what should have been, Darling, are we just good friends?
