Tonight I'm Just
a Friend

There ain’t a way to know
Just how tonight will go
If I’ll even have the will
Not to fall apart until
She turns her back awhile
So I can fix my smile
And try again for all I’m worth
Not to let her see the hurt
I’m sure my eyes must show
But I can’t let her know

I can’t let her know
I’ve never let her go
Never escaped the memory
Of everything she meant to me
As much right now as then
But tonight I’m just a friend

Just play it cool to start
Be careful with your heart
So came one friends strong advice
Think she thinks I have a choice
Well I’ll do what I can
To be a stronger man
Than the fool I used to be
But I know soon as I see
Those eyes and how they shine
I’ll want her to be mine

Repeat  Chorus  x  2

Oh tonight I’m just a friend
So tonight I must pretend
Pretend that I don’t care
Whose arms she ends up in
Or leaves in later on
Or leaves in later on

Cos’ I don’t want her back again
Tonight I’m just a friend
