I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine

But babe, is this all we'd ever be
I've loved you ever since
You were a friend of mine
But babe, is this all we ever could be

[Chorus]
You tell me things I've never known
You showed me love you've never shown
But then again when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again, I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now I know that friends are all we ever could be

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

But then again,
But then again
But then again, I'm glad
