Just A Friend

(album: My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me - 2022)

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love, she wanted you to wait?
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talking to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got on stage dripping, pouring with sweat
I was walking through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said "blah-blah-blah"
She had nine, ten pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said "How do you like the show?"
She said "I was very amused"
I started throwing bass, she started throwing back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
That's when I asked "Do ya have a man?" she tried to pretend
She said "No I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on, I'm not even going for it
This what I'm going sing

You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he's just a friend

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just having a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like AWOL, Isaac, Davie, & Zach
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talking, getting familiar
Spending a lot of time so we can build
A relationship or some understanding
I was gonna be in the future we was planning
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doing
Every time that I called her, it seemed something was brewing
I called her room a guy picked up, and then I called again
I said "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that
Jus' bust this

You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he just a friend
And you say he's just a friend

So I came to her college, on a surprise visit
To see my girl, that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I was on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrived in front of the dormitory
"Yo, could you tell me where is door three?"
They showed me where it was, for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissing my girl in the mouth
I was so in shock, my heart went down south
So please, listen to the message that I say
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
