Eddie Rabbitt And Wife performs "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)"

"Friends and Lovers" is a song written by Jay Gruska and Paul Gordon.The song was first recorded as a duet by Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson in 1985 for the soap opera Days of Our Lives, produced by Doug Lenier. That recording remained unreleased until the summer of 1986, when it was released shortly after a version by Juice Newton and Eddie Rabbitt hit country radio. The country version featured the altered title of "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)".

 

In 1986, country-pop singers Juice Newton and Eddie Rabbitt released a version of "Friends and Lovers", altering the title to emphasize the final line of the chorus. Technically, Newton and Rabbitt's recording is a pre-release cover version, since it was commercially available before the pop version was released. Therefore, even though Loring and Anderson recorded the song first, Newton and Rabbitt are credited with the original commercial version. Their duet was called "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)", and although its arrangement differed from Loring and Anderson's recording, it is lyrically the same song. Both Newton ("Queen of Hearts", "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me") and Rabbitt ("I Love a Rainy Night", "Every Which Way but Loose") had already enjoyed considerable success on both the pop and country music charts, and their version of the duet went to No. 1 on the Billboard country chart. This was Newton's final No. 1 though her last solo No. 1 had come eight months earlier with "Hurt".

Eddie Rabbitt - Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)

 

What would you say if I told you

I've always wanted to hold you

I don't know what we're afraid of

Nothing would change if we made love

 

So I'll be your friend and I'll be your lover

'Cause I know in our hearts we agree

We can be both to each other

Oh yes, we can be both to each other

 

I know the chances we're taking

And somebody's heart could be breaking

Still we can't stop what's inside us

Our love for each other will guide us

 

And I'll be your friend and I'll be your lover

'Cause I know in our hearts we agree

We can be both to each other

 

I've been through you and you've been through me

And sometimes a friend is the hardest to see

We always know when it's laid on the line

Nobody else is as easy to find

 

And I'll be your friend and I'll be your lover

'Cause I know in our hearts we agree

We can be both to each other

Oh yes, we can be both to each other
