Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby, pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
[Verse 2]
Maybe light a couple candles
And I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me, baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
[Verse 3]
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think it's time we say
Some things we haven't said?
[Verse 4]
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Till we ain't strangers anymore?
[Chorus]
Sometimes, it's hard to love me
Sometimes, it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
[Verse 5]
It would be so easy
To live your life with one foot out the door
Just hold me, baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
[Chorus]
It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn out the lights
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't tell wrong from right
It would be so easy to spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
[Verse 6]
So let's get down to it, baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
[Verse 7]
Let's put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me, baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
[Outro]
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore
