Why are we fighting?

Why do we scream?

Seems all we do now

Is treat each other mean

We used to be so understanding

About each others ways

And since we've come together

Seems all we do is get in each other's way

We're better friends than lovers

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

Honey can't you see?

You need you and I, I need me

So it's time now to set each other 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 love about us

Are the things we seem to hate

And when we go out for good times

We just come home with big headaches

We're better friends than lovers

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

Honey can't you see

You need you and I, I really need me

So it's time now to set each other free

We were both out there fishing

We weren't ready to care

And no room in our hearts for love

To love each other back, let's get back

We're better friends than lovers

We used to have a ball

Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks

'Cause we don't have to lose it all

Better friends than lovers

Sugar can't you see?

You need you and I really need me

So it's time now really

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

Baby can't you see

You need you and I really need me

So it's time now ohh yes, ohh really

We're so much better friends

I don't believe you anymore

We don't have to lose it all
