  • Oooooh

    What would you think if I told you
    I've always wanted to hold you?
    I don't know what we're afraid of
    Nothing would change if we made love

    So I'll be your friend
    And I'll be your lover
    'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
    We don't have to be one or the other
    Oh no, we could be both to each other

    Yes, it's a chance that we're taking
    And somebody's heart may be breaking
    Ooh, but we can't stop what's inside us
    Our love for each other will guide us

    So I'll be your friend
    And I'll be your lover
    'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
    We don't have to be one or the other

    I've been through you and you've been through me
    Sometimes, a friend is the hardest to see
    Mm, we always know when it's laid on the line
    Nobody else is as easy to find

    So I'll be your friend
    (I'll) And I'll be (be) your lover
    'Cause I'll be, I'll be your friend
    (I'll) And I'll be (be) your lover
    'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
    We don't have to be one or the other
    Oh no, we could be both to each other Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
