Billy Joe Royal - Old Friends Don't Make Good Lovers lyrics

rate me

Well, I've dreamed about this moment

With you lyin' in my arms

I pictured every movement

That you would make, Oh yeah

But we've stumbled over things to say

That should come easily

And somethin's missin' when we touch

Baby, can it be

That old friends (don't make) don't make good lovers

And we never (never) should have let it come this far

Now we're somewhere between friends and lovers

And we can't go on (we can't go on) the way we are

We're just pieces in a puzzle

And we're tryin' hard to fit

But the more we try

The more we slip apart, Oh yeah

And I'm afraid we're doin' damage

That we cannot undo

And I'm layin' here wonderin'

If you're wonderin' too

That old friends (don't make) don't make good lovers

And we never (never) should have let it come this far

Now we're somewhere between friends and lovers

And we can't go on (we can't go on) the way we are

No, we just can't go on (we can't go on) the way we are
