This is one of my favourite songs by Michael Bolton.
Many people forget there is a difference between a lover and friend. Unlike a lover whose major characteristic is to have fallen in love, a friend is a person who listens, who is understanding, who is helpful/supportive and who wishes the best for his/her friend.
Most of the problems in relationships can be solved if people stopped being only lovers. Lovers are not only lovers but also best friends because you help each other in terms of need. You stick together and support each other.
Love + friendship = a win win
Chorus
How can we be lovers if we can’t be friendsHow can we start over when the fighting never endsBaby, how can we make love if we can’t make amendsTell me how we can be lovers if we can’t be,can’t be friends
That is a Classic, thanks for sharing another favorite!
It’s a song that has never gone out of fashion to date.
