Girl, this may sound funny 'Cause we've been friends for so long But lately, I've been feeling something Coming on real strong Oh, you've been looking better to me Than you ever have before We should get together Turn our friendship into more Oh, girl, do you remember How it was when we were kids? The secrets shared together And the crazy things we did Well, you've become a beautiful woman I've grown up to be a man I can't keep this secret And I know you understand That it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush It's such a crime to waste time beatin' around the bush I spent days and weeks, months and years Just waiting for your touch And it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush Well, we've known each other like sister and brother We've touched in almost every single way with one another We've worked together, we've played together Love's the only thing we haven't made together Yeah, yeah Now you know my feelings And I can see how you feel too My heart's out in the open With just one thing left to do Oh, girl, it's clear, the time is here To end this waiting game For us to let this chance go by Would be a crying shame And it's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush (This is the right time) It's such a crime to waste time beatin' around the bush (Don't wanna waste time) I spent days and weeks, months and years (I've been waiting for your touch) Just waiting for your touch (I've been waiting) It's about time we both stop beatin' around the bush Gotta stop beatin' around the bush Oh yeah Stop beatin' around the bush Oh, I'm so hungry for your touch 'Cause I want your love so much I can almost taste it Listen to me Come on, girl, now
