More Than A Feeling
The Bank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wanna seem like a desperate man
But I gotta call again
Tell me are you falling in
So you never ever fall again
Girl I lied to you time and again
I was trying to hide it then
I went out of mind again
I've been out my mind again
Ain't no time left to try and pretend
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be
Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends bae
Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends girl
Baby don't cave under pressure
Be an Angel if you left her
Be a Devil if you tempt her
Boy please don't tempt her
If you do, I'm coming thru, I'm coming thru tryna get that old thing back, yeah
Yeah, I used to have a hold on that, yeah
Yeah, I bet she never told you that, yeah
Ain't no time left to try and pretend
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be
Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends bae
Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends girl
Ooooooooh babe, now can we both forget how I used to be
Ooooooooh baby, now can we both forget what we used to be
Ain't no time left to try and pretend
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be friends
We can never be, we can never be
Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends bae




Just friends, just friends babe
More than friends, I wanna be more than friends girl
