Do you remember when we first said hello?
The way you wore your hair
How we drank 'til dawn
Then got it on
On your basement stairs
Every little bit of joy in my heart
Has turned to pain somehow
But I'll take the pain
'Cause I'd go insane
If I left you now

We don't have to be friends to get along
We don't have to be friends to get it on
Just say I love you
'Cause that's just words

We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be friends

When you need me I'll be right by your side
You're there when I need you
There's a bond we share
And we always care
Though our hearts aren't true
You take care of everything that I need
And I'll take care of you
And I realize
That your big green eyes
Look for something new

We don't have to be friends to get along
We don't have to be friends to get it on
Just say I love you
'Cause that's just words

We don't have to be friends to carry through
We don't have to be friends 'cause that's not true
Just say I love you cause that's just words
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be friends
