Let's Be Friends (Skin To Skin)

I been watching you a long time
Trying to figure out where and when
We been moving down that same line
Time is now maybe we could get skin to skin

Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of coming to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slipping away, (let's be friends)
Baby let's be friends, (let's be friends)
Come on let's be friends

I know we're different you and me
Got a different way of walking
The time has come to let the past be history
Yeah if we could just start talking

Don't know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of coming to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of slipping away, (let's be friends)
Baby let's be friends, (let's be friends)
Come on let's be friends

Do, do do doo do, do do do
Do, do do doo do, do do
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Baby let's be friends
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Come on let's be friends
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Baby let's be friends, let's be friends, (let's be friends)

There's a lot of talk going 'round now
Let them talk you know you're the only one
There's a lot of walls need tearing down
Together we could take them down one by one

Do, do do doo do, do do do
Do, do do doo do, do do
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Baby let's be friends, (let's be friends)
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Come on let's be friends, (let's be friends)
(Do, do do doo do, do do do)
Come on let's be
