Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now that we are over as the lovin' kind

We'll be dreamin' ways to keep the good alive

Only when we want is not a compromise

I'd be pouring tears into your drying eyes

[Verse 2]

Friends, lovers, or nothing

There can only be one

Friends, lovers, or nothing

There'll never be an in-between

So give it up

[Verse 3]

You whisper "come on over", 'cause you're two drinks in

But in the mornin' I will say goodbye again

Think we'll never fall into a jealous game?

The streets are flood with the blood of those who felt the same

[Verse 4]

Friends, lovers, or nothing

There can only be one

Friends, lovers, or nothing

There'll never be an in-between

So give it up

[Verse 5]

Friends, lovers, or nothing

We can really only ever be one

Friends, lovers, or nothing

We'll never be the in-between

So give it up

We'll never be the in-between

So give it up

[Verse 6]

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than stay is go

Anything less than I love you is lying

[Verse 7]

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than stay is go

Anything less than I love you is lying

[Verse 8]

Anything other than yes is no (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything other than stay is go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything less than I love you is lying (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 9]

Anything other than yes is no (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything other than stay is go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything less than I love you is lying (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 10]

Anything other than yes is no (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything other than stay is go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything less than I love you is lying (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Lying, lying, lying)

[Verse 11]

Anything other than yes is no (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything other than stay is go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything less than I love you is lying (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (It's lyin', lyin', lyin')

[Verse 12]

Anything other than yes is no (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything other than stay is go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Anything less than I love you is lying (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
