BETTER OFF FRIENDS
1st Place song- ASCAP Texas Songwriting Contest-2002
(c) Words and Music:
Rhonda Stegent / Donna Aylor / Susie Marshall

You held me a little closer
After we danced tonight
And now that we’re at my house
You can’t even say good night
You are my best friend
What’s happening to us
These signals you’re sending
Got me curious

CHORUS:
WE WERE BETTER OFF FRIENDS
NOW I FEEL SOMETHING MORE
WHEN YOU TOUCH ME I MELT
LIKE NEVER BEFORE
I WANT TO DISCOVER
HOW IT FEELS TO BE YOUR LOVER
OH AND I CAN NO LONGER PRETEND
WE’RE BETTER OFF FRIENDS

We have a lot in common
You laugh at all my jokes
But lately I wanna kiss you
Whenever we’re alone
You tell me I’ve been
In your dreams for awhile
I think we need to stop
Hiding behind our smiles

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
That kiss you just gave me made up my mind
No more talking about it we’ve crossed over the line

REPEAT CHORUS: (add/ “I THOUGHT” first line )
