FRIENDS AND LOVERS
(Paul Gordon / Jay Gruska)

Gloria Loring & Carl Anderson - 1986



GLORIA:
What would you say if I told you
I've always wanted to hold you
I don't know what we're afraid of
Nothing would change if we made love

CARL:
So I'll be your friend
And I'll be your lover
'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
We don't have to be one or the other
BOTH: Oh no, we could be both to each other

GLORIA:
Yes, it's a chance that we're taking
And somebody's heart may be breaking
CARL:
Ooh, but we can't stop what's inside us
Our love for each other will guide us

GLORIA:
So I'll be your friend
And I'll be your lover
'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
We don't have to be one or the other

CARL: I've been through you and you've been through me
GLORIA: Sometimes a friend is the hardest to see
CARL: mmmm, we always know when it's laid on the line
BOTH: Nobody else is as easy to find

BOTH:
So I'll be your friend
And I'll be your lover
'Cause I know in our hearts we agree
GLORIA:
We don't have to be one or the other
Oh no, we could be both to each other
