Please excuse my religion; excuse the ceremony and the show,
When I first gave in to your advances, you were wanting to get closer than I'd know,
But I'll allow it for a moment, for just a moment I'll come near,
Long enough to say those words that all men are taught to fear.
I think we'd be better off as friends,
I think that should be where it ends,
There's no complicated reason, just as simple as sin,
I think we'd be better off as friends.
Please excuse my reluctance,
Turn your eyes away from my embarrassed grin,
Never gone this far before; don't think I could ever go this way again,
So I'll just raise my head, and look deep into your eyes,
And offer you those words I've been conditioned to despise.
I think we'd be better off as friends,
I think that should be where it ends,
There's no complicated reason, just as simple as sin,
I think we'd be better off.
I wanted flowers, you were buying me a ring
I wanted candy, you were giving everything, yeah, yeah.
You took my breath away, don't think that I have denied it,
But this heart you've stolen, sir, do you think we could still divide it?
I think we'd be better off as friends,
I think that should be where it ends,
There's no complicated reason, just as simple as sin,
I think we'd be better off , yeah,
I think we'd be better off as friends,
I think that should be where it ends,
There's no complicated reason, just as simple as sin,
Think we'd be better off as friends.
