  • How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
    How can we start over when the fighting never ends?
    Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends?
    How can we be lovers if we can't be, can't be friends?

    Look at us now, look at us, baby
    Still tryin' to work it out never get it right
    We must be fools, we must be crazy
    Whoa, Whoa, when there's no communication
    Whoa, whoa, it's a no win situation

    How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
    How can we start over when the fighting never ends?
    Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends?
    Tell me how can we be lovers if can't be friends?

    We lie awake, this wall between us
    We're just not talkin', we got so much to say
    Let's break these chains, our love can free us
    Whoa, whoa, ain't it time we started trying
    Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying

    How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
    How can we start over when the fighting never ends?
    Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends?
    Tell me how can we be lovers if can't be friends?

    Baby, love is tough but we can make it
    Baby, times are rough but we can make it
    We can work it out

    How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
    How can we start over if the fighting never ends?
    Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends?
    Tell me how can we be lovers if can't be, can't be friends?

    How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
    How can we start over if the fighting never ends?
    Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends?
    Tell me how can we be lovers if can't be, can't be friends?
