It might take a while,
I hope it's not too long a time
And I will see you smiling,
and I know that you are fine.
Now, baby, understand me,
what I have to say.
Now, I think it's finally,
finally come a time
when I had to, had to, had to get away.
I think it's finally over.
I wish we could go on as friends
But once you leave your lover
It's hard to get to friends again
You might see me out there
On the street with
someone new
You've got to understand it
There's a change we
must go through
No, I didn't mean to hurt you,
oh, with what I had to do
You know I never could have finally seen it,
but I felt tied up with you
I think it's finally over,
I wish we could go on as friends
But once you leave your lover,
it's hard to get to friends again
I think it's finally over,
I wish we could go on as friends
And I hope there comes a time
when I can laugh with you again
But I guess the only way
is not to see you until then
I think it's finally over
I wish we could go on as friends
But once you leave your lover
It's hard to get to friends again
I think it's finally over
I wish we could go on as friends
But once you leave your lover
It's hard to get to friends again
I think it's finally over
I wish we could all be friends
