Seems like we've run into a complication
Cuz you made plans to be on your own
But I'm hopeful as a fool can be
Because I know that in the final scene
That song on the radio
Will turn into a situation

So you can tell yourself we're just friends, just friends
But this ain't something just friends do
You can tell yourself we're just friends, just friends
But I know that it just ain't true
Friends don't look out at the stars and cry in arms at night
Saying everything will be alright
So you can tell yourself we're just friends
If it eases your mind
I'll be your friend tonight

You see through every last careful persuasion
You get out fast when I drive you home
You're reaching out to me
When you're looking for more than company
I know you're begging for more
But you leave it at a conversation

So you can tell yourself we're just friends, just friends
But this ain't something just friends do
You can tell yourself we're just friends, just friends
But I know that it just ain't true
Friends don't look out at the stars and cry in arms at night
Saying everything will be alright
So you can tell yourself we're just friends
If it eases your mind
I'll be your friend tonight

Breaking that lock on your cellophane heart
I can see through but you always stand guard
Breaking that lock on your cellophane heart
I can see through but you always stand guard
Breaking that lock on your cellophane heart
I can see through what you're doing when you say
We're ju-ju-just friends

This ain't what just friends do
You can tell yourself we're just friends, just friends
But I know that it just ain't true
Friends don't look out at the stars and cry in arms at night
Saying everything will be alright
So you can tell yourself we're just friends
If it eases your mind

I'll be your friend tonight
I'll be your friend tonight
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend tonight
(Breaking that lock on your cellophane heart
I can see through but you always stand guard
Breaking that lock on your cellophane heart
I can see through but you always stand guard)
