It's easy being angry It's harder being sad When lovin' turns from being good To being bad It hurts my heart and spooks my soul To think of doing it again So, let's be friends Friends Let's be friends Well, words don't mean a thing The proof is in the action And it's hard to fight the power of attraction But I've put that cart before the horse Done it again and again So, let's be friends Friends Let's be friends But do you know how to do it? Can you take your time? Can you pick me up in your pickup truck Without sayin', "I'm gonna make her mine?" I've heard the critics doubt it And I guess I'm on the fence Can a man and a woman just be friends? Well, if this sounds confusin' (Yeah, please explain) Ha, okay, you know a woman of my age is tired Of playin' a young man's game (I can hear that) I've been around enough to know The love that has no end And it all begins by being friends But do you know how to do it? Can you take your time? Can you pick me up in your pickup truck Without sayin', "I'm gonna make her mine?" I've heard the critics doubt it And I guess I'm on the fence Can a man and a woman just be friends? And I know how to do it I can take my time (I can take my time) I can pick you up and try my luck And take a chance, I could make you mine I heard all about it and how it all could end Can a man and a woman just be friends? (yeah-yeah) Can a man and a woman just be friends?
