Justin Bieber Lyrics

BloodPop

I was wonderin' 'bout your mama
Did she get that job she wanted?
Sell that car that gave her problems?
I'm just curious 'bout her, honest

Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good

So I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?

Can we be friends?
Can we be friends?

Wonderin' if you got a body
To hold you tight since I left
Wonderin' if you think about me
Actually, don't answer that

Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good

So I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?

Can we be friends?
And if it ends, can we be friends?

Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good

I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)




Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?

Why did this song disappear lol. I feel like this is a song that should’ve blown up big, but for some reason didn’t. The forgotten Bieber single.

@ShipDeckSurvivor

Dan Golden god dammit, I know. Not only would it have been a huge progression for Bieber but a huge progression for the synth-pop scene as well.

@whatittakestocomealive

One of his best songs!
