We Can'T Just Be Friends

When Harry met Sally
He thought her just a friend
She drove him so so crazy
The car drive to begin

Over the hills and through the woods
They ventured on their way
It started off a lovely trip
With lots of things to say

Back then it might sense
Girl and boy do meet
Friends only nothing more
Isn't it so sweet?

I can't imagine now
Living in LA
Meeting a man one night
Next to hear him say....

You know my dear you must know
Your beautiful no doubt
I love you for your brains also
So why must you pout? 

Let's just keep things friendly
I don't want to take you home
I haven't even thought of it
Let's stay in friendship zone.

Is this an alcoholic dream?
Did he really just drop that?
Oh I'm so glad I met you
Maybe I am fat?

What's wrong with me?
Am in a darkened sleep?
I start to panic then slap myself
Guess faith will take a leap. 

Sally wouldn't dare
Bring those thoughts to mind
Harry , well he knew
He wasn't that blind. 

Men and women can be friends
For real or fantasy
But breaking lampshades all while screaming
Is much more beneficial and carefree.
