Thin Line
(专辑: Power In Numbers - 2002)
[Chali 2na] Yo, this is a
lesson in friendship The
depths of a
kinship What women and men begin with, and then slip My pen drips As I
scribble my thoughts on thin strips Of emotion A
fraction, seduction, attraction Eruption of passion Corrupts if a
lasted friendship's involved But love to cross the
line But that's why we built these walls [Hook: Nelly Furtado] We been friends for a
long time, a
very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a
thin line I
love you like you was mine, think about you all the
time Very close friend of mine, but respect a
thin line [Akil] Opposite's attract When the
female and male come in contact Sticky situation in fact Tryin not to let the
feelings catch But there's a
thin line between both of y'all So you respect that And entertain the
idea, but get brought back To reality, and could you really live with that? Decision, based on intuition You love and keep your distance Hug and kiss in friendship [Marc 7] An ongoing kinship, we was people to begin with Disrespect was not intended but your feelings sparked the
sentence Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent The
perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent [(Hook) repeat 2X] [Soup] Man, too bad that we became friends first I'm not on expert on how relationships should work But, (echos) from the
minute it as known It changed the
whole tone on how we spoke on the
phone Yo, it was cool but I
felt it wasn't enough And I
was stuck when your moms would pick it up Over you, all my buddies would swoon But I
felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room. (Damn) But to me girl, you're still off limits No matter all the
times that I
hinted. (Yo, whatchu doin after this?) Infactuation was authentic, but yo I
just pretended So I
wouldn't lose the
friendship Maybe, I
should spill all my guts Or write a
letter, then tear it up Or do a
song, just to say what's up I
want ... just ... a
touch [(Hook) repeat 2X] [Nelly Furtado] I
can't do this anymore See my heart just falls out when you walk in the
door Friendship turns into lust and this only tip That I
can't comprehend even if I
knew it Can't do justice to these things that I'm feeling You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealing Hell if she knew she would never leave us alone in the
roo-ooo-ooom [Chali 2na] This was a
lesson in friendship I
stress in this sentence Should women and men be friends first? And then slip? My pen drips as I
scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion [Akil] Opposites attract And best friends make a
perfect match If you only knew that Once you cross, ain't no turning back The
minute you let him in it and he hit that That's that [Marc 7] We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless Jeporidizing kinship, respect is intended Resolve is my intent While we got it in I'm tryin to salvage a
friendship [(Hook) repeat 2X]
