Oh-oh-oh (yeah, it's my tape, man)
Whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh (listen to my tape)
I've waited, I've waited, time went by (yeah)
All I could do was cry
Silly (silly), (woo) silly
If I was your best friend, I'd want you 'round all the time
(I'd want you 'round me all the time)
Can I be your best friend if you promise you'll be mine?
(Girl, promise you'll be mine)
They 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
First we get the talkin', then we get the touchin'
If we get past the phone games we'll be (aha)
I kiss like the French, then 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 or on the jet, join the mile high club
I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love (haha)
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
'Cause if you were my best friend, I'd want you 'round all the time
(I'd want you 'round me, baby)
Could I be your best friend? I promise, boy, you'll 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
If I was your best friend, I'd want you 'round all the time
(I'd want you 'round me all the time)
Could I 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
While you in your bubble bath I'll come wash on your back
While you puttin' on your lotion, I can help you with that
I sit and think of things to say that may make you smile
Or give you gifts from my 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
There's a swagger that you calm but when you come from New York
I'm a hustler, I just hustle in the things that I bought
Separate, come on
I'm not afraid to explore my body, ooh, gimme that feelin'
Now we can watch some TV or play a CD, maybe that sexual healin'
You tried 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 with you, ooh, you make it so easy
'Cause if you were my best friend, I'd want you 'round all the time
(I'd want you 'round all the time)
Can I be your best friend? I promise, boy, you will be mine
(Please, baby, be mine, yeah)
I said he's just a friend (oh, ooh)
Baby, it's not pretend (no, baby)
Either he is or he ain't my man (no)
I said he's just a friend
We been better than friends for a long time
Ain't no need to pretend, you'll always be mine
We been better than friends for a long time
Ain't no flippin' and fakin', you'll always be mine
If I was your best friend, I'd want you 'round all the time
(I'd want you 'round me all the time)
Could I 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
