Joey Adams (January 6, 1911 – December 2, 1999), born Joseph Abramowitz, was an American comedian who was inducted into the New York Friars' Club in 1977 and wrote the book Borscht Belt in 1973.
Adams was born in Brooklyn, New York as Joseph Abramowitz. For many years, he wrote the "Strictly for Laughs" column in the New York Post. His wife, Cindy Adams (to whom he was married from 1952 until his death), remains a society/gossip columnist for the same paper.
Adams' career spanned more than 70 years and included appearances in nightclubs and vaudevilles. He also hosted for a while his own radio show and wrote 23 books, including "From Gags to Riches," "Joey Adams Joke Book," "Laugh Your Calories Away", "On the Road with Uncle Sam" and "Encyclopedia of Humor." The Yale Book of Quotations cites him as being the first to say, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
He made numerous television appearances over the years, including on The Ed Sullivan Show and Howard Stern's 1990s TV shows, and was in the films Singing in the Dark (1956, of which he was also executive producer), Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title (1966), and Silent Prey (1997). For many years, he hosted a radio talk show on WEVD in New York.

:CHORUS:
Sure baby we can be friends
(Slow dance) Where would that lead
(Romance)
(Back rub) Where would we end
(Hot tub)
(Slow play) Who would you be, if we were more than friends
(Let's role, it don't matter what we do at all)
(Slow dance) Quite possibly
(Romance)
(Back rub) We conquered the world
(Hot tub)
(Slow play) Just you and me, baby Why Just Be Friends
(Just role, it don't matter what we do at all)
:Hook:
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Take off your coat
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
That's what I wanna do
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Baby, kick off your shoes
(And all you gotta do is take it off)
Let's be More Than Just Friends
:VERSE 1:
Girl.. just.. re.. lax
I know we just started talkin'
Girl.. I.. can't.. help
But to think how we'd be
We could sail the seven seas like you was a dream
We can climb the highest mountain, know what I mean
Or just chill and watch a movie wit the T.V.
Baby you just gotta trust, I promise you'll see
:BRIDGE:
Stop, drop your beers, baby come get with me
Give me your tears, I got the remedy
Kick down your shoe, I'm not the enemy
Girl I just wanna be the only one to make you happy
Baby come close, I wanna feel ya body
Take it slow, ain't gotta bother nobody
We can't go wrong, baby just think about it
:CHORUS:
:HOOK:
:VERSE 2:
I.. don't.. want.. to
Move too fast but girl I'm ready
No pressure girl
Just sit back and let it be
If we rushin' baby girl just let me know
It ain't no thing for me to stop and take it slow
I ain't tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
But I can't help feelin' like you are the one I'm lookin' for
:BRIDGE:
:CHORUS:
Now I know that love has failed you many times before
But I'm tryin' to make you see
That the only one is me
So forget those other guys you dated long ago
And just let your mind be free
Lets be More Than Just Friends
:CHORUS:
