Just Partners - Rex Griffin

Why not be just partners for a while

I don't want to call you sweetheart now

At parting just a handshake and a smile

Then there'll be no tears or broken vows

It's better that we never fall in love

We'll be partners if you do your part

We'll be the best of friends

And partners to the end

I couldn't bear another broken heart

I must admit that you are pure as gold dear

I know I like you better than the rest

But I'm afraid to tell the story old dear

I'll never take another losing guess

Oh why not be just partners for a while

I don't want to call you sweetheart now

At parting just a handshake and a smile

Then there'll be no tears or broken vows

It's better that we never fall in love

We'll be partners if you do your part

We'll be the best of friends

And partners to the end

I couldn't bear another broken heart

Just be the same each time we are alone dear

Don't let the love light shine within your eyes

There'll be no aching heart

When you are gone dear

We'll never have to say a sad goodbye

So why not be just partners for a while

I don't want to call you sweetheart now

At parting just a handshake and a smile

Then there'll be no tears or broken vows

It's better that we never fall in love

We'll be partners if you do your part

We'll be the best of friends

And partners to the end

I couldn't bear another broken heart
