R.l. Burnside Alice Mae Lyrics

To just act like we never were
To come around and not show hurt
How dare we greet by shaking hands
Just months ago, I was your man, was your man
Verbally, we'd agreed it was over
And we were through
I'm trying to compose myself
But I just can't get over you, girl
We can't be friends
(No, no oh, oh no no)
We can't be friends
(Deborah, you know I can't go on being just your friend)
We can't be friends
('Cause I'm still in love with you, yeah)
I went by mother's, saw your car there
To her you're still family and it don't seem fair
For everyone to just go on
And I've tried and I can't do it 'cause I'm still torn
I tried to think of you
As just another love
In my past that didn't last
But it's not that simple, baby
We can't be friends
(Oh no, no, no, no)
We can't be friends (If we, if we can't be lovers)
We can't be friends
(As I'm still in love)
You may see me staring
Or catch me in a daze
May see me hang my head
When you come my way
Don't get too close to me
Expect me to behave
I might just steal a kiss
If you come near my face, what I'm trying to say
We can't be friends
(We can't be friends)
(Can you look me in the eyes)
(And honestly say you don't love me?)
We can't be friends
(Tell me you know)
We can't be friends
(R.L. I know)
(I'll never ever find another love like you, oh no)
We can't be friends
(I love you too much baby)
(I love you too much, oh)
We can't be friends, I'm still in love with you
(With you, I am still in love)
I am still in love with you
(You didn't have to leave)
