I've known you for so long   You are a friend of mine   But is this all we'd ever be?   I've loved you ever since   You are a friend of mine   And babe is this all we ever could be?      Refrain:   You tell me things I've never known   I shown you love you've never shown   But then again, when you cry   I'm always at your side   You tell me 'bout the love you've had   I listen very eagerly   But deep inside you'll never see   This feeling of emptiness   It makes me feel sad   But then again I'm glad      I've known you all my life   You are a friend of mine   I know this is how it's gonna be   I've loved you then and I love you still   You're a friend of mine   Now, I know friends are all we ever could be      You tell me things I've never known   I shown you love you've never shown   But then again, when you cry   I'm always at your side   You tell me 'bout the love you've had   I listen very eagerly   But deep inside you'll never see   This feeling of emptiness   It makes me feel sad   But then again   Then again   Then again I'm glad
