i can't say don't go but i can't say go
i can't say stay we both know
we both know you're going & we both know why
but i can't say don't go i can't say goodbye

i can't say hold me i wish i could
i'm feeling so cold & you're looking so good
but it aint to be you got a good man
ok god we're gonna follow your plan

i can't say come to me but i can't say leave
one thing i can say i can say believe
believe i'll love you until the end
long as i'm living you got a real good friend

i can't say i'm happy but i aint too blue
i know i'm lucky to have a friend like you
we'll share some laughter on that you can depend
long as i'm living you got a real good friend
