Making Lovers out of Friends Songtext
von Rodney Crowell

I never would have guessed that you might want me
I didn′t see that something in your eyes
Please don't think your sweet words disappoint me
(Oh, It′s Okay) you just took me by surprise

There through thick and thin, is where I had you
Someone I could lean on through it all
And all the times that you were there to catch me
I never once suspected you might fall


As soon as "See you later" becomes, "Don't leave me"
We know it won't be over when it ends
The only thing I see is no more you and me
When we start making lovers out of friends

So please don′t throw forever after at me
If you want to keep me close, then don′t be mine
The way to live each day in lovin' laughter
Is if we never, ever cross that line

As soon as "How you doing?" becomes, "I′m sorry"
And the answer to "What's new?" Is "That depends"

We both know that it′s true there'll be no more me and you
When we start making lovers out of friends
When we start making lovers out of friends
