Let’s Be Friends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call out your persuasions
I got the feeling that you don't know what to say, it's a
A black dress occasion
Nobody's dying, it's a dinner, not a date, but I
Feel young and inspired
That this is over and I'm hoping you'll agree, so I
Phase out and smile over
That little phrase, "It isn't you, baby, it's me"

[Pre-Chorus]
So take the tarot card
And tell a fortune gold
The past heartbreaks, the lies we told, we tell again

[Chorus]
Let's be friends, then never speak again (Ooh)
It's cool (Cool), we can just pretend

We're friends and never speak again (Never speak again)
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends

[Verse 2]
You take it, the bottle down
Man, this is easier than how I thought it'd go
You smiling like a devil
You tell me you were coming here to let me know that
It's over when it's over

And it's over, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
So take the tarot card (Take the tarot card)
And tell a fortune gold
The past heartbreaks, the lies we told, we tell again

[Chorus]
Let's be friends, then never speak again (Ooh)
It's cool (Cool), we can just pretend
We're friends and never speak again (Never speak again)
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends

[Post-Chorus]
Catch you later
Never gonna see you again
See you never
Let's be friends
Catch you later
Never gonna see you again
See you never

[Interlude]
I had a really nice time with you
I mean, you're sort of a dick sometimes
But someone out there is surely gonna love a dick
Uh, check, please
[Chorus]
Let's be friends, then never speak again (Ooh)
It's cool (Cool), we can just pretend
We're friends and never speak again (Never speak again)
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends

[Post-Chorus]
Catch you later
Never gonna see you again
See you never
Let's be friends
Catch you later
Never gonna see you again
See you never
Let's be friends

[Outro]
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Not really though

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
