Baby, We Can Be Friends lyrics - Rosanne Cash

Sometimes it's hard to find words

And sometimes the words seem too hard

Maybe we're feeling insecure

Because 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
