|
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 glasses 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? |
