Friendly Thing Lyrics by Write Out Loud

Write Out Loud Concert

2019

Hey you
I like so many things about the way you are
And you scandalize me
‘Cause you’re out of my league
“Well I don’t wanna be anything more than friends” you say to me
But I don’t wanna be your BFF for anytime or anything

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your superman
Don’t wanna be like all the others
That are just back-up plans
I wanna be your main guy
I wanna define your love
Believe I won’t stop trying
Till I get you
Woah, woah, woah, woah

You don’t give the time of day
Well that just drives me crazy
‘Cause I wanna ask you out
Afraid you might say maybe
“Well I don’t wanna be anything more than friends” you say to me
But I don’t wanna be your BFF for anytime or anything

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your superman
Don’t wanna be like all the others
That are just back-up plans
I wanna be your main guy
I wanna define your love
Believe I won’t stop trying
Till I get you
Woah

I could write some old-timey lovesong if you like that
I could be there for you, baby
Just can’t hold the tears back
I just wanna make you happy
Then I’ll be happy, too
If friends is all you wanna feel
Then there’s nothing I can do

Oh, hey you
I like so many things about the way you are
And you scandalize me
‘Cause you’re out of my league
“Well I don’t wanna be anything more than friends” you say to me
But I don’t wanna be your BFF for anytime or anything

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your superman
Don’t wanna be like all the others
That are just back-up plans
I wanna be your main guy
I wanna define your love
Believe I won’t stop trying
Till I get you
