Just as my gaze met yours
Felt like you shot me through the heart
And I fell into thoughts of being with you
When I told you, you said

Let's just be friends
You never noticed me
Let's just be friends
So you let me down gently
From that day your words had a hold on my mind
Like a chanted curse, over and over
Let's just be friends

I saw you downtown the other day
With a guy like Johnny Depp
I didn't feel jealous, I just felt empty
I can't compete with him

Let's just be friends
Those words are coming back
Let's just be friends
Though I tried to forget
From that day your words had a hold on my mind
Like a chanted curse, over and over
Let's just be friends

In a short time
Things have been going my way
I have to say
I feel like it's been a long time since I thought about you
Now, how can I say it?
It goes like...

Let's just be friends
You never noticed me
Let's just be friends
So you let me down gently
From that day your words had a hold on my mind
Like a chanted curse, over and over again

Let's just be friends
I can take those words now
Let's just be friends
What I mean is, I'm over it
'Cuz I also found someone special for myself
But I heard he said those words to you yourself
Let's just be friends
