It's been a long time since I held you tight It's been a long time since I kissed you good night What's a man supposed to do When he's still in love with you, girl It's been a long time since we made love It's been a long time since I told you that I care What's a girl supposed to do Now that it's over Between me and you If we can't be lovers Maybe we can be friends If our love has lost the magic Let's be friends 'til the very end If we can't be lovers Maybe we can be friends Since our love has lost the magic Let's be friends It's been a long time since we said I do It's been a long time since we made plans for two What are we supposed to do Now that it's over Between me and you Life is much too short And we don't know when it will end A sunny day or rainy night There's no way of tellin' We can't throw away all those years Filled with happiness We've got one good reason To give it our best Inside you lives a part of me And He's gonna need the two of us To help fulfill his dreams
