Baby, We Can Be Friends

(Rosanne Cash)

Sometimes it's hard to find words
And sometimes the words seem too hard
Maybe we're feeling insecure
Vecause we're still not used to our parts
But if I sound self-assured
I tell you I know where I stand
That's only something I've learnt
You got to say it again

Say baby, we can be friends
And then tell me something like this
Say darling I loved you on sight
I won't let you be lonesome tonight

You think you're taking a chance
And I'm not so sure I agree
But I'll pretend I understand
If you'll just explain it to me
I don't want to make these demands
I don't want to limit your style
But I wish that you misunderstand
When I say leave me alone for awhile
