Don't make me come to you now
Just like I've done before
Don't drag me over old ground
And call me to your door
Cause though it's hard to say it
It won't be hard to see
That friends we never were babe
And friends we never will be
Why can't we keep the memory
That once we two were dear
That once the chimes of our love
Were ringing true and clear
Cause I don't want them sounding
So dead and out of key
When friends we never were babe
And friends we never will be
We could talk about the weather
Or the promises we made
Of all we thought was sacred
That we were gonna save
And maybe there'd be some things
On which we could agree
But friends we never were babe
And friends we never will be
But darling don't be thinking
Our love was all a waste
If I don't come a calling
If you don't see my face
Cause I gave you all of my heart
And you the same to me
But friends we never were babe
And friends we never will be
