It wasn't quite noon when you said to me That you found me so pretty
It wasn't quite noon when I blushed indecently We could've been friends, you see
Until just before noon when you found me so pretty
We could've been friends, you see But right after noon
You wished to embrace me in the rain What a strange idea
To embrace me in the rain
We could've been friends, you see If one rainy afternoon
You hadn't found me so pretty
We wrestled so much with words That we ended up running out of words
And without a care for tomorrow's dawn We let our hands take over
We let our hands take over
We could've been friends, you see If one rainy afternoon
You hadn't found me so pretty
Behind closed blinds, we tossed our coats aside And without turning back
We let our friendship slide
To bind me closer, you caressed me with promises
To bind you closer, I wrapped us in tenderness
As it was not enough, we entwined it all together
Our promises and our caresses Your caresses and my tenderness
And to remember it all, we started over
And to remember it all, we started over
We could've been friends, you see If one rainy afternoon
You hadn't found me so pretty
On a paper tablecloth, you explained how my life would be
But I made it on my own, and no one will cast a stone
On paper or silk, whatever my life may be
I am the one who holds the key
We could've been friends, you see If one strange afternoon
You hadn't found me so pretty
On a paper tablecloth, you explained how my life would be
But I made it on my own, and no one will cast a stone
On paper or silk, whatever my life may be
I am the one who holds the key
We could've been friends, you see If one strange afternoon
You hadn't found me so pretty
