I've been searching for someone But never looked before my eyes There you were to my surprise It was so obvious looking into your face After playing a game of truth or dare I wanted to stay at your place I never thought that I Would fall in love with you But since the day we kissed I knew it had to be you I never thought we would be together I can't believe I just made love to you After all the things that we've been through Now what are we gonna do Oh Monday, a friend of mine Tuesday, we played a game Wednesday, you went away Thursday, things weren't the same On Friday, you came back I wanted to kiss you On Saturday On Sunday we made love Now what are we gonna do As much as I, I want you I don't want to wreck a friend I've already found in you I've been there before And I can't ignore How two friends became one But walked away with none I cannot risk a friend But the love is so good I gotta make a choice I would if I could I never thought we would be together How can I address you "Hey lover?", "Hi friend!" "How ya doin'?", "Where ya been?" I gotta make a choice Monday, a friend of mine Tuesday, we played a game Wednesday, you went away Thursday, things weren't the same On Friday, you came back I wanted to kiss you On Saturday On Sunday we made love Now what are we gonna do On Sunday we made sweet sweet love Tuesday we played a game But Sunday we made love Now what are we gonna do? A friend of mine
