Best Friends
Ellen and Matt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I was yo best friend
I'd keep that shit real you already know the deal
I gotta confession
Erry single night you been staying on my mind
Girl it ain't a question
When the going gets rough, love will always be enough
If I was yo best friend
Can you be my best friend
Popstar so I'm living like a popstar
Lifestyle crazy but you I gotta job for you
I don't want no relations ain't got no time for it
In my closet all I'm rocking is Tom Ford
I don't wanna girl you could be my bestie doe
Take a couple trips I could fly you out to Mexico
Bad lul baby I could show you what you missing
You not tha only one but I'll treat you like you different
That's my lul confession I might be tripping yea
Messin with the vibes but baby I'm not committed
Best friends yea that's what Imma call it
Imma keep it real
You mean a lul more
Imma keep you dripping in that Chanel couture
BFF that's how I like it nun more
Hold it down till the end kinda vibes
What you got is real I ain't even finna lie
If I was yo best friend
I'd keep that shit real you already know the deal
I gotta confession
Erry single night you been staying on my mind
Girl it ain't a question
When the going gets rough, love will always be enough
If I was yo best friend
Can you be my best friend
If I was your best friend
I wanna tell you what I really want
Yea baby I see a different image
Yea we could fly away if you want
Go to Paris for the weekend
Fall in the deep end
Run away and leave it
Watch it all start sinking
I don't know how long we have
It's getting cold out on these steps
And I don't really know what comes next
So can we try to figure out what's left
I don't know how long we have
(I don't know how long we have)
Can we try to figure out what's left?
If I was yo best friend
I'd keep that shit real you already know the deal
I gotta confession
Erry single night you been staying on my mind
Girl it ain't a question
When the going gets rough, love will always be enough




If I was yo best friend
Can you be my best friend
