LYRICS

Sometimes Lovers Start Out As Friends (Janet’s Song)

She told me time and time again, give it up, throw it all away.

Then in a quiet way, she asked me to stay.

So I'm all crossed up like any vulnerable man like me can be.

Insisting and persisting on a waiting game.

This time, I feel my procrastinating waiting game, is gonna end with a thunder storm and buckets of tears.

I can only hope there's a woman, a woman somewhere inside of her.

That will take this pain and calm these fears.
 

So I'm trapped in chain of pain, I'm alone with no one but myself to blame.

How can such a wise man act so insane.

But I've one last chance to see the light, the light at the end of this foolish game.

I reckon it's time to make the change.
 

The night is done with our airs and our graces.

You can let your hair down relax your face, lay your body down on your feathered mattress pillow.

Talk one thing to say. We can be together til our dying day.

Even if it is just the way you say. We're only friends.

Sometimes lovers start out as friends. Sometimes lovers start out as friends.
 

She told me time and time again, give it up, throw it all away.

Then in a quiet way, I ask her to play.

Break out your whistle Janet Anne, come on and play.

Sometimes lovers start out as friends. Sometimes lovers start out as friends.
