Better Friends Than Lovers Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

Why are we fighting? 

Why do we scream? 

Seems all we do now 

Is treat each other mean 

We used to be so understanding 

About each others ways 

And since we've come together 

Seems all we do is get in each other's way 

We're better friends than lovers 

We used to have a ball 

Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks 

We don't have to lose it all 

We're better friends than lovers 

Honey can't you see? 

You need you and I, I need me 

So it's time now to set each other free

You get mad if guys stare at me 

And I'm mad if girls look 

I don't believe we're ready now 

For living by this book 

The things we love about us 

Are the things we seem to hate 

And when we go out for good times 

We just come home with big headaches 

We're better friends than lovers 

We used to have a ball 

Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks 

'Cause we don't have to lose it all 

We're better friends than lovers 

Honey can't you see 

You need you and I, I really need me 

So it's time now to set each other free 

Photos 

We were both out there fishing 

We weren't ready to care 

And no room in our hearts for love 

To love each other back, let's get back 

We're better friends than lovers 

We used to have a ball 

Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks 

'Cause we don't have to lose it all 

Better friends than lovers 

Sugar can't you see? 

You need you and I really need me 

So it's time now really 

We're so much better friends 

We used to have a ball 

'Til the friendship breaks 

We don't have to lose it all 

We're better friends than lovers 

Baby can't you see 

You need you and I really need me 

So it's time now ohh yes, ohh really 

We're so much better friends 

I don't believe you anymore 

We don't have to lose it all
