98 degrees - why (are we still friends) lyrics

we do almost everything that lovers do
and that s why it s hard, just to be friends with you
every time your heart is broken by the fool
i want you to know that it hurts me too
it s hard to wipe your tears away (tears away)
knowing that you should be with me
now tell me why

[chorus:]

why why are we still friends
when everything says
we should be more than we are
and tell me why every time i find
someone that i like
we always end up just being friends (just being friends)

i would hate for you to find somebody new
who you really love, cause it would mean losing you
but am i a fool girl not to say
if i m always scared i ll lose you anyway
somehow somewhere i ve got to choose (got to choose)
no matter if it s win or lose
now tell me why

[chorus]

i don t wanna be like your brother
i don t wanna be your best friend
i only wanna be your lover
when will this end
if i told you that i wanna be in your life
then you could be the woman in mine
now tell me why

[chorus x2]
