We Could Have Been the Closest of Friends Songtext
von Kenny Rogers

There you are and here am I
We are what we decided
Alone behind the wall of pride
Hopelessly divided

We had so much together, baby
What got into us?
How could we just call it quits?
We should have called for love

We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world′s greatest lovers
Now we're just without each other (ooh-oh)
We could have been the closest of friends


I could say you did me wrong
You could say you didn′t
Or we could sit and hold our tongues
And act like little children

I could say you never really loved
And you could say the same
But if it's really over
Then who cares who was to blame?

We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
And now we′re just without each other (ooh-oh)
We could have been the closest of friends

We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world′s greatest lovers (lovers)
Now we're just without each other (oh-oh)
We could have been the closest of friends
