Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been watchin' you a long time
Tryin' to figure out where and when
We've been movin' down that same line
The time is now, maybe we could get skin to skin
[Verse 2]
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin' to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin' away (Slippin')
[Verse 3]
Hey, babe, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Come on, let's be friends
[Verse 4]
I know we're different, you and me
Got a different way of walkin'
Time has come, let the past be history
Yeah, if we could just start talkin'
[Verse 5]
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of comin' to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of slippin' away (Slippin' away)
[Verse 6]
Baby, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Come on, let's be friends
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do, do, do, do, do
(Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do)
Baby, let's be friends
[Verse 7]
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Come on, let's be friends
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Baby, let's be friends, let's be friends
(Let's be friends)
[Verse 8]
There's a lot of talk goin' 'round, now
Let 'em talk, you know you're the only one
There's a lot of walls need tearin' down
Together we could take 'em down one-by-one
[Verse 9]
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin' to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin' away (Slippin')
[Verse 10]
Baby, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Come on, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Baby, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Come on, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
[Verse 11]
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do, do, do, do, do
(Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do)
Baby, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Come on, let's be friends (Let's be friends)
Do, do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Baby, let's be friends
