Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's my tape, man
Listen to my tape
(I've waited, I've waited
Time went by
All I could do is cry
Silly, silly)
Woo
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
I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round 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
First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin'
If we get past the phone games we'll be fuckin'
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 mean 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
But I'ma different type of nigga that make sure that you know
Instead of a rose, there's a hundred dozen of those
See I see somethin' special when I look in your eyes
With your legs way back, I see this pussy is mine
If you ain't sure when I'm talkin', I don't tell you no lies
But there's things that you say that have me wonderin' why
When I don't say what I'm thinkin' it don't mean that I'm shy
Got on that shit you picked out for me, that's why I'm so fly
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
I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round 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
While you in your bubble bath, I'll come wash on your back
When you're 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
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 me from the rest, I feel like I'm the best
If there's a price to pay for feelin' you, I'll pay that twice
I'm as ghetto as it gets, girl, you know that's right
I ain't got nothin' to hide, baby, I'll tell you my secrets
'Fore you end up being 'round long enough to peep shit
I get closer to you, I mean closer than close
I get into you, after I take off my clothes
Girl, I've been into you, mentally long before
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
I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round 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

I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round all the time)
I crave your presence and affection constantly
First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin'
If we get past the phone games we'll be fuckin'
Our initial communication will lead to physical intimacy if we can avoid playing games
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
I am a passionate kisser and lover who enjoys the rougher side of sex
For me, a different scenery just mean 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
Changing our environment can inspire new sexual positions; from the bath to the airplane, I am creative and adventurous
I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love
But I'ma different type of nigga that make sure that you know
Instead of a rose, there's a hundred dozen of those
See I see somethin' special when I look in your eyes
I understand that money cannot buy love, but I still want to do everything in my power to show you how special you are to me; I see a unique quality in you that I admire
With your legs way back, I see this pussy is mine
If you ain't sure when I'm talkin', I don't tell you no lies
But there's things that you say that have me wonderin' why
When you are in a highly sexual state, I can sense that you belong to me; I am honest about my intentions, but sometimes your words contradict your actions
When I don't say what I'm thinkin' it don't mean that I'm shy
Got on that shit you picked out for me, that's why I'm so fly
Just because I don't always speak my mind doesn't mean I am hesitant or reserved; I put effort into my appearance and style to impress you
While you in your bubble bath, I'll come wash on your back
When you're puttin' on your lotion, I can help you with that
I want to be involved in the intimate moments of your daily routine and offer my assistance in any way I can
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
I put thought and care into our conversations and want to make you happy; I give you personal gifts that reflect my own style; I may influence the way you speak during our conversations
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
I am confident in my sexual abilities and aim to impress you; I admire and am influenced by the swagger of your origins in New York; I am a successful businessman
Separate me from the rest, I feel like I'm the best
If there's a price to pay for feelin' you, I'll pay that twice
I'm as ghetto as it gets, girl, you know that's right
I ain't got nothin' to hide, baby, I'll tell you my secrets
I consider myself superior to other men and am willing to go above and beyond to win your affection; I come from a rough background but I embrace and celebrate it; I am open and honest with you about my past and feelings
'Fore you end up being 'round long enough to peep shit
I get closer to you, I mean closer than close
I get into you, after I take off my clothes
Girl, I've been into you, mentally long before
Before you have the chance to see any faults or flaws in me, I want to become intimately close with you; I become physically intimate with you after removing my clothing; I have been emotionally invested in you for a long time
