Johnny Gill - Lose a Lover, Keep a Friend

Текст песни

Yes, we’ve been here for years
Throughout every problem you had with every man
And all the women that came and went
You seen that time and time again
I kept you near
And you called me a friend
I love you 'til life
We never crossed that line
I just wonder if you ever wonder why
Can you imagine what would happen if we make love through the night?
And I promise I would do you right
But I’m only human and I can’t stand to lose ya
I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend (And keep a friend)
'Cause I would hate to see you walk away
And it all go bad in the end
That’s why I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend
I would hate to be another mistake
And it all go bad in the end
Lose a lover, keep a friend
I admit that I was jealous
Wishin' I could have what he had
Thinkin' to myself, can I do you better?
That’s a question we were too afraid to ask
We would probably fall in love
Couple years, several months
You can take my last name
We don’t even need pre-nups
But even if I never get to have you like this
I still love you as a friend
If that’s all that I can give
Can you imagine what would happen if we make love through the night?
And I promise I would do you right
But I’m only human and I can’t stand to lose ya
I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend (And keep a friend)
'Cause I would hate to see you walk away
And it all go bad in the end
That’s why I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend
I would hate to be another mistake
And it all go bad in the end
Lose a lover, keep a friend
I just wanna be honest
When it comes to you
'Cause you’re way too important
Way too important for me to lose
I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend (And keep a friend)
'Cause I would hate to see you walk away
And it all go bad in the end
That’s why I’d rather lose a lover
And keep a friend
I would hate to be another mistake
And it all go bad in the end
Lose a lover, keep a friend
