Just Friends
Chromeo Amber Mark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bark, you bite
Whatever it is, it ain't right
It's not intentional, but tension's running high
My time, your world
I sit back and watch it unfurl
They can't blame me 'cause I'm worried about my girl

We fight every night and day
And make up for it right away
This is driving me insane
But I still love you anyway
Yeah anywhere you want to put it
Bite my tongue or bite the bullet
Said a couple things I shouldn't
I would take back if I could

If things fall apart again
I know you know we can go back to being just friends
May feel like we're wrong in the end
I know you know we can go back to being just friends
We can go back to being just friends

Speak once, think twice
Looks like you put me on ice
The ice is melting every time we dim the lights
I'm dim-witted, deal with it
You said something slick, I didn't get it
And now I wonder if our love is counterfeit

All these questions on my mind
Is this all some sort of sign?
Is this love or am I blind
Or are we headed for decline?
I decline to answer that
But I'm inclined to state the facts
We stay on each other's back
Because opposites attract

If things fall apart again
I know you know we can go back to being just friends
May feel like we're wrong in the end
I know you know we can go back to being just friends
I know you know we can go back to being just friends

I know you know we can go back to being just friends

I just can't forget when you're touching me right
I melt in my head, got me feeling so high
The aftereffect, boy you're fuckin' me up
May not be correct but I can't get enough

I just can't forget when you're touching me right
I melt in my head, got me feeling so high
The aftereffect, boy you're fuckin' me up
May not be correct but I can't get enough

I just can't forget when you're touching me right
I melt in my head, got me feeling so high
The aftereffect, boy you're fuckin' me up
May not be correct but I can't get enough

I just can't forget when you're touching me right
I melt in my head, got me feeling so high
The aftereffect, boy you're fuckin' me up
May not be correct but I can't get enough

Yeah yeah, baby, yeah
Alright, Dave 1 of Chromeo
That is all i got for you this lovely evening
If you do happen to need anything else




Don't be afraid to holla, heh heh
Anything you need, oh

Man, these guys do not disappoint. I found out about their song "Clorox Wipe" from an ad and every song I've heard so far is consistently fun to jam out to.

@abrilhernandez8978

I love u chromeo โค your music always puts me in a good mood โค๐Ÿ”ฅ

@California-cn4nk

From one gut bucket Funksta to another gut bucket Funksta Unit, "Chromeo," absolutely outstanding genuine funk by keeping it funky. I can hear multiple influences of late 1970s and 1980s influences throughout this song! Great damn job Chromeo! The unique thing about funk, it is either you have it or you don't. You feel it or you don't. You know it or you don't. In other words, funk is genetically programmed into the DNA and born with it. Chromeo is organically funk! Yessssss! Sirrrrrrr! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

@andybpiano
