Only just a friend, the love story begins 
 Now here's a happy ending to believe in 
 You're always there for me, now you're with me in my dreams 
 It's got me wondering if you ever dream of me 

 I don't wanna risk losing everything 
 But I'll take the chance and tell you what I'm thinking 

 Girl, you've been my best friend, can we put this to bed then? 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, baby won't you be mine? 
 Not just my homegirl, time that I take you home, girl 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, let me love you tonight 
 I, I, I 

 Kiss, kiss, kiss me on my lips 
 We've been dancing 'round the moment now we're doin' it 
 Then breathe, breathe a sigh your sweet relief 
 We've been holding it so long the wait was killing me 

 Oh, and we are what we have been waiting for 
 So baby open your mind while I close the door 

 Girl, you've been my best friend, can we put this to bed then? 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, baby won't you be mine? 
 Not just my homegirl, time that I take you home, girl 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, let me love you tonight 
 I, I, I 

 Don't let this moment just slip away 
 'Cause we'll never know unless we try someday 
 If you're ready I'm so ready 
 Tonight's the night, tonight's the night 

 Oh, girl you've been my best friend, can we put this to bed then? 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, baby won't you be mine? 
 Not just my homegirl, time that I take you home, girl 
 Tonight's the night to cross the line, let me love you tonight 
 I, I, I, I, I, I
