Isn't it somehow strange
How friends will turn into lovers
And overnight you find you've changed
From one into the other

A friend will always stay with you
And talk a problem through
But a lover is the only one who'll
Spend the night with you

There are lovers, there are friends
And it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends
There are those, the ones like you
Who have somehow found a way to be the two

Through the years you'll find
That lovers will come and go
But a friend will always stay with you
This I think you know
A lover can be your own
And be your one and only
But a friend will always stay with you
When a lover leaves you lonely

There are lovers, there are friends
And it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends
There are those, the ones like you
Who have somehow found a way to be the two

And all of my life
I've been waiting for you
All of my life
I've been waiting for you

It's hard to live your life
Without one or the other
To find someone who'll be your friend
And still become a lover.

But now, I'll never have to make
A choice between the two
Now all my life I've found a friend
And lover both in you

There are lovers, there are friends
And it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends
There are those, the ones like you
Who have somehow found a way to be the two
