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?
