Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
Yeah, it's my tape man, listen to my tape
Oh
(I've waited, I've waited)
(Time went by, all I could do was cry)
Yeah
(Silly, silly)
Woo
[Verse 2]
If I was your best friend, I want you round all the time
I want you round me all the time
Girl, I'll be your best friend, if you promise you'll be mine
Girl, promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend
Uh-huh
Now girl, let's not pretend
Come on
Either he is or he ain't your man
Haha
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend
[Verse 3]
First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin'
If we get past the phone games we'll be, uh ****
I kiss like the French do, put my tongue in your ear
Do it like the dogs do it, girl, and pull on your hair
For me a different scenery just means a different position
In the tub or on the sink, I improvise, now listen
In the chopper, on the jet, join the mile high club
I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love, haha
[Verse 4]
You said that I could call you
Whenever I needed someone to listen to me
That's why I'm here standin' by your side
'Cause you always come through for me
So many others tried to be where you are
But they just wanted to do me
But you took your time, and now I'm satisfied
That's why I want you all to me
[Verse 5]
'Cause if you were my best friend, I want you round all the time
I want you round me, baby
Could I be your best friend? I promise, boy, you'd be mine
Ooh, baby, be mine
I said, "He's just a friend," baby, it's not pretend
Either he is or he ain't my man
I said, "He's just a friend"
[Verse 6]
If I was your best friend, I want you round all the time
I want you round me all the time
Girl, I'll be your best friend, if you promise you'll be mine
Girl, promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend
Uh-huh
Now girl, let's not pretend
Come on
Either he is or he ain't your man
Haha
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend
[Verse 7]
While you in your bubble bath, I'll come wash on your back
While you puttin' on your lotion, I could help you with that
I sit and think of things to say that may make you smile
Or give you gifts from the heart to reflect my style
The slang I use when we build may change how you talk
And if I'm focused when I'm strokin, I could change how you walk
That's the swagger that you come with when you come from New York
I'm a hustler, I just hustle in the things that I bought
Separate, come on
[Verse 8]
I'm not afraid to explore my body
Ooh, gimme that feelin'
Then we can watch some TV or play a CD
Maybe that Sexual Healing
You try to sing to me, you're never on the key
But you do it just to appease me
I'd rather spend my time wastin' time wit' you
Ooh, you make it so easy, yeah
[Verse 9]
'Cause if you were my best friend, I want you round all the time
I want you round all the time
Could I be your best friend? I promise, boy, you'd be mine
Please, baby, be mine, yeah
I said, "He's just a friend," baby, it's not pretend
Oh, whoa, no, baby
Either he is or he ain't my man
No
I said, "He's just a friend"
[Verse 10]
We've been better than friends
For a long time
Ain't no need to pretend
You'll always be mine
We've been better than friends
(We've been better than friends for a long time)
For a long time
(Ain't no need to pretend, you'll always be mine)
Ain't no flippin' or fakin'
(Ain't no flippin' or fakin')
You'll always be mine
(Ain't no need to pretend, you'll always be mine)
[Verse 11]
If I was your best friend, I want you round all the time
I want you round me all the time
Girl, I'll be your best friend, if you promise you'll be mine
Girl, promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend
Uh-huh
Now girl, let's not pretend
Come on
Either he is or he ain't your man
Haha
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend
