Carol Bayer Sager:
You and me
We’ve traded hearts

Michael Jackson:
I guess that’s how
It always starts out

Both:
And then I guess it always ends

Michael:
Look at us
(now)

Carol:
Sayin’

Both:
I don’t think that you and me
Can just be friends
Maybe this is how the whole thing
Has to just end


Carol:
And if

Michael:
(la la dee)

Carol:
We could

Michael:
(la la dee dah dah)

Carol:
Have loved

Michael:
(la la dah)

Carol:
Enough

Michael:
(la la dah)

Carol:
We would

Michael:
(la la dah)

Carol:
Have handled

Michael:
(laaa...)

Carol:
When it got rough
But one of us

Both:
Let go too soon

Carol:
So here we are

Michael:
(here we are)

Now

Carol:
Now sayin’
I don’t think that you and me
Can just be friends
Maybe this is how the whole thing
Has to just end

Michael:
I wish you’d understand...

Carol:
It’s funny how
When love has gone
There’s only one left holdin’ on

Both:
When someone’s always hurtin’ more
Still lonely for the other

Carol:
Sayin’

Both:
I don’t think that you and me
Can just be friends

Michael:
(hmm...)

Both:
I don’t ever wanna feel so much again
Feel again...

Carol:
Unless it’s you..

Michael:
You... again

(la la dee, la la dee dah dah, la la dah, la la dah, la...)

Carol:
I guess

Michael:
(la la dah)

Carol:
That’s how

Michael:
(laaa...)

Carol:
It always starts out
And then I guess

Both:
It always ends

Carol:
Look at us

Michael:
(look at us)
(now)

Carol:
Now sayin’

Both:
I don’t think that you and me
Can just be friends

Michael:
(hmm...)

Both:
Maybe this is how the whole thing
Has to just end?

Michael:
La la dee, la la dee dah dah, la la dah, la la dah, la la dah, la...
