As Your Friend
Afrojack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart just opened up the door again
Just watch me fly as I spread my wings
Don't ask me why 'cause there are too many things
And now we're standing on the edge
Looking like here we go again
It used to be old me but today
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend
Oh, lil' mama, I can feel your fire
You poisonous lady, let me take you higher
And I don't care if it's a bad time
Just label me the bad guy tonight
And now we're standing on the edge
Looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend
I came to party hoping that you would fall in love
Don't mean to put no pressure on you
Everybody loving madly
And the DJ, he's getting drunk
I'm trying to get next to you
And now we're standing on the edge
Looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up, I woke up as your friend
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend
I'ma fuck that pussy
I'ma fuck that pussy
I'ma fuck that pussy
And now we're standing on the edge
Looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend
I'ma fuck that pussy
I'ma fuck that pussy
I'ma fuck that pussy
The lyrics of Afrojack's 'As Your Friend' reveal a complicated relationship where the singer is deeply in love with the woman but has resigned himself to being just friends. The opening lines of the song, "I just can't live anymore like this, My heart just opened up the door again" suggest that the singer had been hurt in the past but is now allowing himself to love again. The lyrics "Just watch me fly as I spread my wings, Don't ask me why 'cause there are too many things" suggests that the singer is ready to take risks in love once again but is hesitant to explain why.
The chorus of the song, "And now we're standing on the edge, Looking like here we go again, I used to be your man but today, I woke up as your friend" is repeated multiple times throughout the song. It suggests that the singer is in a state of confusion about his relationship with the woman. He was once her man but now finds himself in the friend zone. The lines "Oh, lil' mama, I can feel your fire, You poisonous lady, let me take you higher" suggest that the woman is attractive and intoxicating, but the singer is willing to risk being just friends with her.
