Why (are we still friends)

We do almost everything that lovers do
And that's why it's hard just to be friends with you
Everytime 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
I know and that you should be with me
Now tell me why

Why, why are we still friends
When everything says we should be more than we are?
And tell me why
Everytime I find someone that I like
We end up just being friends

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 see
If I'm always scared I'll lose you anyway
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose
No matter if it's win or lose
Now tell me

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 wnat to be in your life
Then you could be the woman in mine
Now tell me
