Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time to be
Just friends?
It's never safe for us
Not even in the evening
'Cause I've been drinking
Not in the morning
It's always dangerous
When everybody's sleeping
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
And, no, I'm not ashamed
But the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Thought we need to find a time
To just do this shit together
'Fore it gets worse
I want to touch you
But that just hurts
When will we get
The time to be
Just, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
Just friends
The song "Just Friends" by Amy Winehouse is a heartbreaking ballad about unrequited love and the struggle of trying to remain friends with someone you have feelings for. In the lyrics, the singer laments the fact that they can never truly be friends with the person they desire because the tension and emotions between them make it too dangerous. The singer acknowledges their own shortcomings, admitting to drinking and thinking about the person when they should be trying to move on.
The chorus repeats the question of "when will we get the time to be just friends?" which highlights the frustration of the situation. The singer wants to move on and be able to have a platonic relationship with the person they desire, but it seems impossible. The final verse introduces the added complication of another person in the mix, with the singer admitting they will never love this person in the same way they do the object of their affection. The song ends with a resigned repetition of "just friends."

When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
When will we have a chance to have a platonic and non-romantic relationship?
It's never safe for us
Not even in the evening
'Cause I've been drinking
Not in the morning
When your shit works
It's always dangerous
When everybody's sleeping
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?
It's never a good idea for us to be alone together, especially at night when I've been drinking, and when everyone is asleep, it's risky. But I still wonder if we can be alone without any romantic pressure.
And, no, I'm not ashamed
But the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Thought we need to find a time
To just do this shit together
'Fore it gets worse
I want to touch you
But that just hurts
I'm not ashamed of my attraction to you, but the guilt of betraying someone else will weigh on you, and she may find out eventually. I can never love you the way she does, and we need to address this urge and explore it before it worsens. However, physical contact only causes emotional pain for me.
When will we get
The time to be
Just, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When can we have a purely friendly relationship without any romantic or physical pressure?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When can we be purely friendly with each other without any underlying attraction?
Just friends
A simple desire for a platonic friendship without the burden of attraction and guilt.

🖤 Lyrics 🖤
What did I do to need you?
Why did I see you as golden?
What did I do to leave you?
Where did I think it was going?
What did I do to need you?
Ohhh baby
What did I do to leave you? oooh
Yeah
You can't be my bitch again
You can be mine as a friend
I can't waste time telling bitches lies 'cause they gonna cry in the end
Tell one lie that's another lie you gotta back up
Man, I can't lie I can't stand that
See a new rack rubber band that
Girl, they sleeping on you like a Xanax
Reminiscing when I didn't have you, I was thinking how it was to have that
And it all falls in the end
You can't be my bitch again
It’ll be fine if we're friends
You can be mine as a friend
And it all comes full circle
What you give you get in the end
Long nights out with my kin
Days that I can't live again
I was never one to look for love
I was never one to do the drugs
I was only focused on my grind
Girlfriend fucking up the vibe
High off life fucking up the high
Even told you 'cause I couldn't lie
You can never say that I ain't tried
Always tell me I'm the bad guy
I got one question for you baby
Is your love money motivated?
Would you like me if I didn't make it?
Would you like me if I wasn't famous?
I know you see me coming up without you bae
You say you wanna see me lil' baby, I'm with it just give me the day
You all in my business asking me bout bitches that been in my place
Like fuck out my face
'Cause you said I was just your friend and now you wanna be my girlfriend
All 'cause a nigga flourishing
Feel good when the tables turning
I'm flexed up in my Birkin
You know it's real 'cause it's working
I can see you as a person
Know the real you in closed curtains
Yeah
You can't be my bitch again
You can be mine as a friend
I can't waste time telling bitches lies 'cause they gonna cry in the end
Tell one lie that's another lie you gotta back up
Man, I can't lie I can't stand that
See a new rack rubber band that
Girl, they sleeping on you like a Xanax
Reminiscing when I didn't have you, I was thinking how it was to have that
And it all falls in the end
You can't be my bitch again
It’ll be fine if we're friends
You can be mine as a friend
What did I do to need you?
Why did I see you as golden?
What did I do to leave you?
Where did I think it was going?
What did I do to need you?
Ohhh baby
What did I do to leave you? oooh

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift – forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
