Lyrics
What ya'll tryna do
I like this, yeah
Oh, I don't know waht to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing me apart (tearing me apart) because he has my heart
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
I've been wanting you for many life times now
And I'm so afraid tot tell you how I really feel
You have been there for me I was 13 and you were 14
Best friends for years, where do I go from here
Oh, Oh, I can't stop the way that I feel
Everytime I see you, I lose control
I just can't let it go, no
A kiss from you, ooh how does it feel, Oh I wonder
I'm so close to you, but I wanna get next to you,
Oh, I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my bestfriend
It's tearing my apart because he has my heart
Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
When we're out together everybody smiles at us
Cause they think that you're my man, so I hold your hand
Like you're my man
I keep hoping that you'll notice me
And maybe one day you and I could be
Together more than jsut friends yeah
Oh, I can't hide the way that I feel
Everytime I see you I lose control
I can't let it go, no, no
Kissing you just won't be enough
I need all of you, I wish you wanted me
Like I want you, oh, yeah
Oh I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
I'm in love, I'm in love with my bestfriend
It's tearing my apart, because he has my heart
I'm in love, I'm in love with my bestfriend
If you only could understand the things that he does for me,
Beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous and simplicity
He describes all the things that love is about for me
And I got to have him, yes I want him
I want him, I need him
I'm in love with my bestfriend
I'm in love, yeah
Oh, I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh, I'm in love I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing me apart, because he has my heart
I'm in love I'm in love with my bestfriend
