Friends Before Lovers

Friends Before Lovers
BY: MEH3

They say we cannot be friends if we cannot be lovers
But I say we have to be friends to be lovers

They say friendship will never last
I say friendship with love can always be a blast

They say just give me one night to love you
I say give me an eternity and I will show you what love is

They say sex is made for an one night stand
but I say love making is made for two who started as friends. 

So to be lovers let's start being friends
Understanding the real meaning 
and not just trying to get in each other pants

Because at the end of the night 
I want to hold you tight
listen to all your fears 
and make you understand that I am all ears

I am here until the end 
Not just the night
Until the end of time 
Because I want to do this right

I mean, we can go at it 
and have fun for the rest of the night
But what is the real meaning
if it is only for one night

I want to make this last forever
and I am not Keith Sweat,
But I am willing to make this bet

That if we become friends before lover 
every challenge that comes before us
has no chance to destroy us

But this is only meant in the sense of Holy Matrimony 

So, do not get me wrong I will love to stay for the night
but it really would not be right
Because I want to take a knee 
and ask you to be my wife

So let's continue to be friend, 
So that we can grow to be lovers 
That is all I am saying 

Friends before lovers 
Let the challenge begin
