You say it's hard to find the real thing
Always talkin' bout what you think the perfect love's supposed to be, uh
Someone who listens, someone who cares
Well, I'm listening, but it's hard for you to see me right there
So I got a proposition
Baby everything you mentioned
Ain't as far as you think it is
'Cause maybe it's right here
We don't gotta pretend
That we're only friends
I know you know what I'm saying
I just can't comprehend
Don't know why
We don't even try
It's second nature to feel
What we're feeling inside
You see, our little situation is
Got me wondering
If there's much more that I can do
To admit that I adore you
Your cold feet holding you back
Love don't overreact
When I tell you what I'm feeling is real
So real
And no it ain't even a question
Just some pent-up affection
Ain't as hard as you think it is
So let's just make a deal
We don't gotta pretend (girl, quit playin' me)
That we're only friends (so much more than friends)
I know you know what I'm saying (you know)
I just can't comprehend
Don't know why
We don't even try (why can't we just try?)
It's second nature to feel
What we're feeling inside
Something's telling me that
We could be a thing
Why don't we try
No need to lie, no
See, something's telling me that
We could be a thing
Why don't we try
No need to lie
We don't gotta pretend (no we don't, no we don't, no we don't)
That we're only friends
I know you know what I'm saying (I know you know)
I just can't comprehend
Don't know why
We don't even try (we gotta try)
It's second nature to feel
What we're feeling inside
