I don't want to let you down [Interlude: Michael Bivins] Girl, I know how you feel about me And I'm not knocking the way you feel But as you can see, baby, time is not on our side (We can change the world, we can do it, girl) And for that reason, we can't be together But I can assure you one day we will prove them all wrong But in the meantime, love, let's just walk away from here And be friends (Friends forever) [Outro: Ralph] Soon enough, it will be Just you and me Ooh ooh Hope we can work it out, we can work it out...
