Oh why can’t we be
Best friends anymore?
They say a friend
Ain’t to be
Between a girl and a boy.
I don’t know who said it
Or why it got to be so wrong.
Oh why don’t you call?
Don’t you care anymore?
It’s not fair,
Don’t let ‘em get you.
It took us both and now I got to fix you,
Well, I don’t know how to fix you.
You say it’s just the way it’s got to be, but how so?
Why
Is an awful lot of question?
And I can’t give me no answer.
I keep wondering on.
Oh why can’t you see
That I’m not tryna be
No kind of bother?
I’m just trying to save what was left between you and me,
And where we left it before they took it,
And took it all,
And took off.
Oh why did I let them drive a wedge between?
Well, I watched it, and I didn’t say nothing,
And now I’m crying when I sleep,
Now I’m saying, I’m praying, to that sweet melody in my soul.
Why
Is an awful lot of question?
And I can’t give me no answer.
I keep wondering on.
I wanna know, who said it
Well who said that, oh, Lord?
