“JUST FRIENDS” (Dwain C. Hathaway) © 2002 D.C. Hathaway Music How did we get here from where we use to be? We were friends for so long. Now we’re in love, you and me. I guess it must have been somebody’s plan from high above who made us what we are…just friends that fell in love. I never would have thought after all that we’d been through that friends could be lovers like me and you. It wasn’t in my plan. You had your life. I had mine. We’re just friends that fell in love. Now we live our lives entwined. ______________________________________________ CHORUS: We’re just friends in a love we didn’t plan. It’s a special kind of love between a woman and a man. We’re just friends in a love we didn’t know would take us where we never intended to go as just friends. _________________________________________________________ I love you in a way I never thought I would after loving you the way that only “just friends” could. I love the way you loved me the way you did before we fell for each other. Now “just friends” means even more. (CHORUS AND SOLO AS CHORUS) ______________________________________________________________________ BRIDGE: When we lived our lives alone we always got each other through. Then before we knew it we’re just friends that said, “I do”. _________________________________________________________ (CHORUS MODULATED WHOLE STEP)
