Friends And Lovers
Gloria Loring Lyrics

What would you think if I told you
If I were to reveal my true feelings for you

I've always wanted to hold you?
I have longed to have a physical connection with you

I don't know what we're afraid of
I don't understand why we are apprehensive

Nothing would change if we made love
Our relationship will be the same if we take our friendship to the next level

So I'll be your friend
I will continue to be your friend

And I'll be your lover
I will step up and be your romantic partner

'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
We both recognize that our emotional connection is strong

We don't have to be one or the other
We can have a friendly and romantic relationship at the same time

Oh, no, we could be both to each other
Our relationship can be mutually beneficial in both aspects

Yes it's a chance that we're taking
There is some risk involved in this decision

And somebody's heart may be breaking
Someone involved may end up getting hurt emotionally

Ooh, but we can't stop what's inside us
Our feelings for each other are too strong to ignore

Our love for each other will guide us
Our affection for each other will steer us in the right direction

I've been through you
We have been there for each other through various experiences

You've been through me
We have supported each other during challenging times

Sometimes a friend is the hardest to see
It can be difficult to recognize when we have deeper feelings for a friend

And we always know when it's laid on the line
We are aware when our emotions for each other have been expressed openly

Nobody else is as easy to find
No one else compares to the level of understanding we have for each other

Cause I'll be your friend
I will continue to be there for you as a friend

And I'll be your lover
I will take on the role of your romantic partner
