What's it gonna be 'Cause I can't pretend Don't you want to be more than friends Hold me tight and don't let go Don't let go Have the right to loose control Don't let go I often tell myself That we could be more than just friends I know you think that if we move to soon It would all end I live in misery when you're not around And I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking What's it gonna be 'Cause I can't pretend Don't you want to be more than friends Hold me tight and don't let go Don't let go Have the right to loose control Don't let go I often fantasize The stars above are watching you They know my heart and speak to yours Like only lovers do If I could wear your clothes I'd pretend I was you and lose control There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah What's it gonna be 'Cause I can't pretend Don't you want to be more than friends Hold me tight and don't let go Don't let go Have the right to loose control Don't let go Running in and out my life has got me so confused You gotta make the sacrifice Somebody's got to choose We can make it if we try for the sake of you and I Together we can make it right What's it gonna be 'Cause I can't pretend Don't you want to be more than friends Hold me tight and don't let go Don't let go Have the right to loose control Don't let go
