The Waiting - Better Off As Friends lyrics

Please excuse my religion Excuse the ceremony and the show When I first gave in to Your advances You were wanting to get closer than I'd know But I'll allow it for a moment For just a moment I'll come near Long enough to say those words That all men are taught to fear (Chorus) I think we'd be better off as friends I think that should be where it ends Ther's no complicated reason Just as simple as sin I think we'd be better off as friends Please excuse my reluctance Turn Your eyes away from my embara**ed grin Never gone this far before Don't think I could ever go this way again So I'll just raise my head And look deep into Your eyes And offer You those words I've been conditioned to despise (Chorus) I wanted flowers You were buying me a ring I wanted candy You were giving everything (Chorus) You took my breath away Don't think that I have denied it But this heart You've stolen, Sir Do You think we could divide it?
