We've been friends for a long long time

You tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine

She's left you all alone

And you feel like no one cares

But I have never failed you

I've always been there

You tell your story

It sounds a bit like mine

It's the same old situation

It happens every time

Can't we see it oh maybe you and me

Is what's meant to be

Do we disagree

What if I told you what if I said that I love you

How would you feel what would you think

What would we do

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine

Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end

What if I said

She doesn't love you oh it's' plain to see

I can read between the lines of what you're telling me

He doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held

How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself

What if I told you what if I said that I love you

How would you feel what would you think

What would we do

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine

Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end

What if I said

Oh we've both had our share of lonliness

So whose to say that we can't have a little happiness

And if I found that in you

It would make my dreams come true

Or would you walk away

Hear what I have to say

What if I told you what if I said that I love you

How would you feel what would you think

What would we do

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine

I've always wondered from the day we met

What If I said what if I said what if I said
