Is it too hard to comprehend
I just want you as my friend?
Our being friends depends
On if you can comprehend
From this message I send
Wanting to be your friend
That because I like to poke
Fun at and I make of jokes
About things you may think of as me being flirty
But don't put that down as your definition of me
Trying to get fresh with you, you misread into
The silly jokes that I in fun have sent to you
Just because I like to tease and please
Please don't give me the deep freeze
What I may've said to you ...
Don't misread things into ...
What you may've misread ...
Please don't be mislead ...
Just because I may have said "I love you"
That does not mean I'm in love with you!
Saying the words "I Love You"
Has a lot of things it refers to
And I'm referring to the kind
Of love that best friends find
From a close companionship
I just want your friendship
Because I like you a whole lot
So why not just give it a shot
At us just being very special friends
Whose friendship muchly depends
On understanding the motive ...
As not one being pro-motive ...
To us becoming like lovers ...
But is something other? ...
I'm hoping you'll now comprehend
From this message for you I send
I Just Wanna Be Friends!
Gettin' it on down to the bottom line,
I just wanna know will you be mine?
