Oh, tell me why
Oh, yea

We do almost everything that lovers do
And that's why it's hard just to be friends with you
Every time your heart is broken by the fool
I want you to know that it hurts me too

It's hard to wipe your tears away
Knowing that you should be with me
Now tell me why...

[Chorus]

Why are we still friends?
When everything says we should be more than we are
And tell me why
Every time I find
Some one that I like
We always end up just being friends...

[End chorus...]

I would hate for you to find somebody new
Who you really love
Cause it would mean losing you
But am I a fool, girl, not to say
If I'm always scared
I'll lose you anyway

Somewhere, somehow I've got to chose
No matter if it's win or lose...

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be like your brother
I don't wanna be your best friend
I only wanna be your lover
When will this end?
If I told you that I wanna be in your life
And you could be the woman in mine?

Now tell me...

[Chorus to fade...]
