(Never say never) Baby, I hope we can still be friend And I really hate to see this affair come to an end I dunno, it sure was fun It just seems I'm not the one I have always hated goodbyes There's no escaping the tears that fall from my eyes Every time you're in love you say forever Forever isn't long, so never say never Sure didn't take too long For everything right to go wrong Women all over the world asked me to wright this song Just a little something to sing when the love is gone It's been real But the emptiness, I can't conceal It's been real And I hope you have a heart to understand just how I feel (It's been real) That's the whole deal Sure been real It's not because we did not try Something just doesn't click between you and I You keep straining to keep it together Instead it's falling apart, not getting any better It's your groove cold, fast Only a season, did it last No it's not another man, or a greener grass I just want more from life than flash and cash It's been real Yeah, the emptiness, I no longer can conceal It's been real I hope you find it in your heart to understand just how I feel It's been real That's the whole deal Sure been real Baby we got together for all the wrong reasons You should be with someone cuz you want 'em Not just cuz you need 'em And we're older now, I guess we better face the music Love is for all, not forever You might lose it It's been real I hope you have enough love in your heart to understand just how I feel Sure been real That's the whole deal Sure been real Maybe you could stop by sometime when you just have some time to kill It's been real I just don't see us staying together Things ain't getting no better
