Verses

"Just wanna be friends" describes that tricky transition from lovers to friends. It happens in relationships all over the world! 

Got somethin' to say / don't get upset / this thing with us / ain't workin' / Don't wanna leave / too much is at stake/ but there's somethin' I gotta, gotta say / we gotta change how we relate / if we wait, it'll be too late / regret stands patiently at the gate   

[Chorus]
Just wanna be friends / it's less intense / this thing we got makes no sense / whatever it was / it's dead and gone / no point pretendin' / it's reached the end / diplomatically / in other words / the love we had / ain't comin' back / we gotta switch to a different track.

Don't take it hard / I think you're great / as a friend, not as a mate / from now on, I'll sleep alone / find someone else / to meet your needs / I won't mind, no divorce / but lovin' you's become a chore / we have memories / we'll keep those / but the past is gone, heaven knows 

Just Wanna Be Friends

🎵 SUGAR & SIN

INTRO

Sugar…
Sin…
Here we go again.


VERSE 1

Sweet on the outside, poison in the core,
Every time you knock, I open up the door.
You kiss like candy, talk like trouble,
Pull me in once and I’m seeing double.

You got that velvet-danger grin,
One look at me and I cave right in.
Baby, you’re no good — that’s the truth,
But hell if I can stay away from you.


---

PRE-CHORUS

I tell myself I’m done…
then you say my name again.
My halo hits the floor —
and I’m yours like I’ve always been.


---

CHORUS

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
You’re trouble wrapped in a perfect skin,
Baby, I break — and you always win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

VERSE 2

You call at midnight, ask me what I’m doing,
Baby, don’t pretend — we both know what’s brewing.
You say you’ve changed, I say I won’t fall,
But you breathe my name and I lose it all.

I swear I’m stronger, swear I’ve grown,
But you show up and I’m skin and bone.
Guess some lessons never stick,
When the poison tastes this sick.


---

PRE-CHORUS

I tell myself I’m fine…
but you’re under my skin again.
You pull me to the edge —
and I jump like it’s pretend.


---

CHORUS 

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
You’re trouble wrapped in a perfect skin,
Baby, I break — and you always win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

POST-CHORUS DROP

Mm-mm, sugar…
Mm-mm, sin…
Every time I swear I’m done,
you pull me back again.

---

BRIDGE 

I blame you,
then I blame myself.
Call it love,
but it feels like hell.

I want out —
but then you pull me in…
Guess angels fall
for a devil’s grin.

---

FINAL CHORUS

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
My flaws, your fire — where do I begin?
Baby, I lose — just to let you win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

OUTRO

Sugar…
Sin…
Here we go again.
