[Verse 1]
You know, I thought that we could be friends
But now I’m caught up in this mess
I can’t pretend, that I don’t feel this
'Cause if I don’t, it’ll leave me depressed
And I know it don’t make no sense
But I’m getting used to this
And I’m older now, but I’m still young
And I got many, oh many years to come

[Chorus]
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
You just thought I just wanted to be friends

[Verse 2]
And I never said it out loud
I’d end up looking like the fool
Am I the only one afraid to make a move
Maybe you're feeling what I’m feeling, too
And I know it don’t make no sense
But I’m getting used to this
And I’m older now, but I’m still young
And I got many, oh, many years to come

[Chorus]
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
[Bridge]
And I’m older now, but I’m still young
And I got many, oh, many years to come

[Chorus]
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
You just thought I just wanted to be friends
