We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

I thought about you all day

Never knowing she was right

--

She was convinced I was in love

I was convinced she was insane

It was the kind of thing I had a sense of

But never thought that I would gain

--

Then one night I fell asleep

And I dreamt of your gentle face

That's when I found feelings ran deep

And my friend had won her case

--

We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

Working together night and day

To make sure everything was right

--

You took my hand and danced with me

And I would look into your eyes

You knew I loved you before I could see

It was something I just couldn't disguise

--

We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

We did wrong in a way

When we knew that we were right

--

Many a plan we devised

It was wrong, we touched, we kissed

But you and I are magnetized

So, how could we resist?

--

We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

Simply best friends by day

Star struck lovers in the night

--

I let my love grow much too far

While you remained unsure

On you she had left her scar

The thought of it made me hate her

--

We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

I can't believe she hurt you that way

If it weren't for her it would all be right

--

You and I are drawn together

But the timing's just not right

The years we might be able to weather

But the end is not in sight

--

We all had our roles to play

You and I were in the spotlight

When you and I met that day

I didn't know you were just right
