Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh yeah, yes (Yes, yes)

Ooh

Can I talk to you

For a minute? (Minute)

There's somethin' on my mind

That I wanna say

[Verse 2]

Ooh, reality is takin' control of me

'Cause I know (Baby)

I know that you're lovin' me

Ooh, lovin' you, boy

I wanna contradict my word

I belong with you

I do truly wanna know (Wanna know)

[Verse 3]

When you hear me talkin', what you think?

When you're lookin' into my eyes, what you see?

I know you ain't tryna to be my man

What you think about us bein' friends, makin' plans?

To be everything we wanna be

Makin' our dreams turn reality

I'm diggin' everything you appear to be

And I'm wonderin' if we could be real good, good friends

[Verse 4]

So emotional, you know I am

That's why you do me the way you do me

If you be cool with me

You'll see that I'm all you need

And all that you dream

And never would leave, you'll be right by my side forever

Swear to God we'll grow old together

Then reality would be you and me

[Verse 5]

When you hear me talkin', what you think? (Oh yeah)

When you're lookin' into my eyes, what you see?

I know you ain't tryna to be my man

What you think about us bein' friends, makin' plans?

To be everything we wanna be (Ooh)

Makin' our dreams turn reality

I'm diggin' everything you appear to be

And I'm wonderin' if we could be, we could be friends

[Verse 6]

If we could be friends, baby

You'll be all I need, baby

I'll give you whatever you want and

Never would leave you or front and

Be what you need, baby

You'll be all I have, baby

And I'd be there for you

Never would front, do what you do

[Verse 7]

When you hear me talkin', what you think?

When you're lookin' into my eyes, what you see? (What you see?)

I know you ain't tryna to be my man

What you think about us bein' friends, makin' plans?

To be everything we wanna be

Makin' our dreams turn reality

I'm diggin' everything you appear to be

And I'm wonderin' if we could be (Ooh, baby)

[Verse 8]

If we could be friends, baby

You'll be all I need, baby

(Ooh, shooba-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do)

Be everything you wanna be

Makin' our dreams turn reality

I'm diggin' everything you appear to be

And I'm wonderin' if we could be
