Better Friends Than Lovers

Lyrics

Why are we fighting?
 Why do we scream?
 Seems all we do now
 Is treat each other mean
 We used to be so understanding (we used to be so understanding)
 About each other's ways (about our ways)
 But since we've come together
 Seems all we do is get in each other's way
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 We used to have a ball (we used to have a ball)
 Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
 We don't have to lose it all
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 Honey, can't you see? (Baby, can't you see?)
 You need you and I, I need me
 So it's time now to set each other free
 (Hey, it's time to set love free)
 You get mad if guys stare at me
 And I'm mad if girls look
 I don't believe we're ready now
 For living by this book
 The things we loved about us (the things we loved about us)
 Are the things we seem to hate (nothing but hate)
 And when we go out for good times
 We just come home with big headaches
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 We used to have a ball (we used to have a ball)
 Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
 'Cause we don't have to lose it all
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 Honey, can't you see? (Baby, can't you see?)
 You need you and I, I really need me
 So it's time now to set each other free
 (Hey, hey, hey, it's time to set love free)
 (You need you, and I need me)
 We were both out there fishing (out there fishing)
 We weren't ready to care (we weren't ready to care)
 And no room in our hearts for love
 To love each other back (let's get it back)
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 We used to have a ball (we used to have a ball)
 Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
 'Cause we don't have to lose it all
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 Sugar, can't you see? (Baby, can't you see?)
 You need you and I, really need me
 So it's time...
 (It's time to set love free)
 We're so much better friends (so much better friends)
 We used to have a ball (we used to have a ball)
 Friendship breaks
 We don't have to lose it all
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 Baby, can't you see? (Baby, can't you see?)
 You need you and I, really need me
 So it's time now, oh
 (It's time to set love free)
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 We used to have a ball
 'Til the friendship breaks
 We don't have to lose it all
 We're better friends than lovers (we're so much better friends)
 Baby, can't you see?
