Don’t Ask Me To Be Friends - The Everly Brothers

After all we’ve been

To one another

How can we become

Like sister and brother

Darling, I beg of you

If our love must end

Ask me to forget you

But don’t ask me to be friends

After being the one

That you took pride in

I just couldn’t be

The friend you confide in

If it’s goodbye for us

We’ll never meet again

Ask me to forget you

But don’t ask me to be friends

Wanting you so badly

Needing you like this

How can I just look at

The lips that I used to kiss

If there’s someone else

Don’t let me see him

'Cause I’ll spend my life

Wishing I could be him

Darling, I beg of you

If our love must end

Ask me to forget you

But don’t ask me to be friends

If there’s someone else

Don’t let me see him

'Cause I’ll spend my life

Just wishing I could be him

Darling, I beg of you

If our love must end

Ask me, ask me anything

But don’t ask me to be friends
