Lyrics
VERSE
Not so right for each other but so great as lovers
It's got a name: friends with benefits
My place, just fine; her place, next time
Hot burning flame; anyone can call it quits
VERSE
Instead of quittin', we found ourselves fitting
Like a hand can fit a glove
From lovers to friends to forever with no end
That's right; we have fallen in love
CHORUS
The freedom we had we don't want any more
Our hearts came alive with love in the door
We never saw it comin'; it just happened one night
And friends with benefits turned out just right
VERSE
From beginnin' with a smile to walkin' down the aisle
Is a long way, but love came to stay
It's how you finish, not how you start
And nothin' now could pull us apart
Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
The real benefit, of course, was gettin' to know each other
As only the intimate can
SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, for us, it turned out just right
