Songtext von Just Good Friends

Drawing back the curtains Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon Here's that special silence Just before you walk out of the hotel room Each time we're so close I assume That we'll never be again Oh, how long can we pretend That we're just good friends? A casual affair is all that you can spare From your emotional change A calendar of meetings, strangers on the street The best we ever arrange Now I just can't stand all the pain All the constant make and mend How long must we pretend That we're just good friends? I gave you my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me leave? So much tangled-up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? Are we such good friends? You used to say: I love you You used to say: You make me feel alive and young Now we're just a habit A flavour, once a month, to titillate your tongue Oh, how sordid this has become As the means approach the end Oh, how long can we pretend That we're still good friends? I gave you my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me leave? So much tangled-up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? Are we such good friends? Are we still good friends?
