Robert Palmer - Can We Still Be Friends? Lyrics

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know, it's all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
(Can we still be friends?)
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
(Can we still be friends?)

It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems that we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

Can we still be friends?

Can we still get together sometimes?
(Can we still be friends?)
Hey babe, can we still go on and on and on?

We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song

Can we still be friends?
