                        OUT OF THE QUESTION

     It's out of the question
     It's just too much to ask
     And I'm too broken hearted to pretend
     I'm too busy cryin'
     And living in the past
     Don't ask me, I can't be just your friend

It seems like just yesterday we were in love
You told me a million times back then
That your love was strong
So can you tell me what went wrong?
Why can't we be that way again?

     It's out of the question
     It's just too much to ask
     And I'm too broken hearted to pretend
     I'm too busy cryin'
     And living in the past
     Don't ask me, I can't be just your friend

I won't stay around and let you see me cry
Wishing we could share just one more kiss
I can't stay here
Wondering how your feelings disappeared
I'm too close to the tenderness I miss

          So I'll be movin' on
          I'd rather miss you when I'm gone
          Than stay and play a game of make believe
          Honey it hurts too much
          To be in reach, but out of touch
          So I will live with memories

     It's out of the question
     It's just too much to ask
     And I'm too broken hearted to pretend
     I'm too busy cryin'
     And living in the past
     Don't ask me, I can't be just your friend

     Don't ask me, I can't be just your friend
     I can't be your friend . . .
     It's out of the question
