HOW DO YOU TURN A FRIEND INTO A LOVER?

HOW DO YOU TURN A FRIEND INTO A LOVER?

How do you turn a friend into a lover
Without losing a friend?
How do you let her know your heart is aching
With a love that has no end?
Wish I could harness the power of the ocean
Draw down lightning from the sky
It’s like trying to defuse an unexploded bomb
Please guide my hand

How do you turn a friend into a lover
It’s not a game, it’s not a game?
And everything is NOT fair in love and war
It has to be truthfully gained
I never meant to mislead you, I’m so ashamed, so ashamed
But I’ve been carrying this anvil in my heart
For so long, for so long,

She asks for my opinion about a boy that she likes
I run him down, call him a clown
Although he’s probably twice the man I’ll ever be
Oh but please let it be me, Oh but please let it be me

Once you’ve said it it’s out there
And there’s no going back
If you’re right then you’re right
Then there’s so much light
But if you’re wrong, what if you’re wrong?

I make a joke but I really mean it
Let’s run away to Gretna Green
I want to kiss your lips forever
Like I do in my dreams, like I do in my dreams
Like I do in my dreams, like I do in my dreams
