"Not As A Sweetheart" lyrics

Not As A Sweetheart

Please
Don't hang up on me
Honey, I've just called to say
That I'm leaving
And I won't be back again

And ask you
If you'd see me
And be with me one more time
Not as a sweetheart
But just as a friend

Not as a sweetheart
For I know your love
Is gone for me
But just for old times sake
Leave me a memory
Do this for me

And please
Would you take my hand
Just kiss me
One more time
Not as a sweetheart
But just as a friend

Well, thanks darling anyway
No, you can't break your date
And planes can't wait
And broken hearts can't mend

So bye bye
Now you be a sweet girl
And honey think of me sometimes
Not as a sweetheart
But just as your friend

Not as a sweetheart
For I know your love
Has gone for me
But for the sake
Of my aching heart
Say something sweet to me
For I used to be

Your one and only
And it hurts to see it end
Not as a sweetheart
But just as a friend

Not as a sweetheart
But just as a friend
