[Verse]
Gm      F               Eb            
I think sometimes I can read your mind
              F               Gm          
When you make things up I can tell you lie
          F                Eb           
I see the things that your man can't see
             F7           Cm7      
And I wonder what kind of man is he
    Cm7                          
The one who you say is your lover
F                                          Cm7   
Who you insist takes care of you under the covers
                                               F    
And who is there for you and loves you like no other
                               D           D7            
Then you kiss and tell me that you love me like a brother
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better
    F                                                   
I'd think that you were mine you're with me all the time
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better
    F                                                     
I'd swear we're more than friends you're touching me again


[Chorus]
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better

I'd think we were in love

Bb Eb    Gm
Oh oh oh ■ 


[Verse]
           F               Eb            
I could be wrong about the things you say
            F            Gm              
But I don't rub up on my friends that way
            F           Eb                 
You tell me that you've always been a flirt
                       Cm7           
But if it goes wrong I could get hurt
                                F      
But no you insist it's harmless playin'
                                                    Cm    
It's just a part of who you are that it's just your nature
    Cm7           
And that it's fine
    Cm7                                  
You know I'm a friend it's really nothing
F                           
You say that I'm just like a
D                           
That I'm just like a brother
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better
    F                                                   
I'd think that you were mine you're with me all the time
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better
F                                                         
I'd swear we're more than friends you're touching me again

My idea of a friend is when you
           Cm7                                 
Do a lotta things together and have a lotta fun
Gm     F          Eb Bb               
But my definition of love is different
Cm7                          
You touch and hold each other
             Gm   F     Eb             Bb      Cm7  
And you only want to be alone clinging to each other
                                             Fsus4
Like you and he should be but like you and I are

I'd swear we're more than friends you're touching me again
Gm               Eb    
If I didn't know better
F                        
I'd think we were in love
