I don't want to hurt you
But every time I lie awake
Your silence is a virtue
That I can't seem to shake
That's my kind a woman
And baby it's a crying shame
Is it even worth it?
I'd ask myself the same
You're losing all your sleep tonight
For one more desperate hour of time
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
You said it once
You'll say it again
I ain't in love but I need a friend
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
It ain't enough
And I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend
And waiting is the hard part
To get a sense of how you feel
It's a matter of a fool's heart
To believe it's something real
My thoughts are true
My heart is on my sleeve
What else can I do?
You brought me to my fucking knees
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
You said it once
You'll say it again
I ain't in love but I need a friend
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
It ain't enough
And I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend
I ain't in love, no I ain't in love
But I need a friend
Pick up the phone
And let's get out of here
You don't want to be alone
It's what you've been dying to hear
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
You said it once
You'll say it again
I ain't in love but I need a friend
Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close
It ain't enough
And I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend
I ain't in love no I ain't in love
(Somewhere close to you, but not too close)
I ain't in love but I need a friend
