LOVER AND FRIEND
By Minnie Riperton
[Intro]
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Again, 1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 1]
Guess we always knew
Best of friends we'd always be
Sister and brother we two
Romance never entered our view
Always you were there, hey hey
When I needed you
Suddenly out of nowhere
I realized I loved only you
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's how true love begins
It just walks right on in
And one day I knew
It was you, it was you
It was always you
[Chorus]
Baby, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
Darling, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
[Verse 2]
Funny how it goes
We'd be the last to know
We were made for each other
And from friends we became lovers
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on being my friend
Our love will never end
We'll have it all
Yes we will, yes we will
Yes we will
[Chorus]
Baby, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend, yeah
Darling, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, keep on being my friend
Our love will never end
We'll have it all
Yes we will, yes we will
Yes we will
[Chorus]
Baby, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend, yeah
Darling, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
[Outro]
We're gonna have a happy ending, yes
We started our with such a great beginning, ooh ooh ooh
We'll walk together, talk together
In every kind of weather
We're bound together forever, yeah
[Chorus]
Baby, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend, yeah
Darling, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
Baby, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend, yeah
Darling, in the end
I've got you as a lover and friend
