Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, you know we're just friends
{Oh...oh...oh...oh...}
Yeah {Yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...}
Holler...holler...holler... {Woo}
she's nothin' but a friend, L {We're just friends}
Just friends (Just friends)[Just friends]
(My friend} [Just friends]
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)

Now let me tell you 'bout the other day
Met this girl from around the way
She said that she's been checkin' me
She let me know she want to get with me

I told her that I had a girl
But she said that she didn't care
Now tell me what the hell am I supposed to do
She's built like Haile and ??? too

It didn't start out that way
But now we're on the phone almost every day {Every, every day}
Then it's a rendezvous for me
I'm tellin' my girl I'm workin' late

Just don't let it get outta hand {Oh, why}
'Cause I could never ever be your man
If we go too far I'll break your heart
So girl, you know that we can just be

Friends
How many of us have them [Just be friends]
Friends
A lover that we can depend on

Friends [Oh, yeah]
Before we go any further [Before we go any further]
You know that I got my lady at home
And you're faced with the reality that we're just friends

We agreed to keep it on the low
I can't let nobody know
So you guess by now that I had to get it
I can't front, I might as well admit it

Sad thing is I know I'm wrong
This fly girl she turned me on
I don't know, I guess it's just the dirty dog in me
Her love is so good, it just be calling, calling me

It didn't start out that way {Oh}
But now we're on the phone almost every day {Every day}
Then it's a rendezvous for me
Tellin' my girl I'm workin' late

Just don't let it get outta hand {Outta hand}
'Cause I could never ever be your man {Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey}
If we go too far I'll break your heart
So girl, you know that we can just be

Friends
How many of us have them
Friends {Whoa, we are friends}
A lover that we can depend on {Ooh-wee}

Friends {Just be friends}
Before we go any further {Just be}
You know that I got my lady at home
And I'm sorry, sorry

(No) I can't see you on my birthday
(No) I can't see you on my holidays
I know this sounds harsh to you
But this is just the way we gotta do

F-are-I-E-N-D-S
Nothin' more and nothin' less
Just friends {Just friends}
Just friends, friends, friends, friends

Uh, yeah
Check it out, yo?
We was friends, everything was cool as a fan
Two months ago you's 'bout to move wit' your man
Now you see the young boy movin' Sedans
You 'bout to self-destruct, girl, ruin your plans
I gave you love like The Sizzler, club get twister
You the first to get a whole body of Cris?, what
But ??? ma, he gettin' lifter
I'm the big brother you call to come fifth her
So how you makin' the club, open your lips up
Tell him, I'll give you some love? Give you a kiss?
What you sound like you outta your mind
How it look wearin' your hair real down to your spine
We probably eat and a bottle of wine
Girl, you wrong and you lyin', that's the reason you cryin'
But I'm a player, how I'm 'posed to react
When my friends run up on me like that, help me out
Why'all

Friends {Friends} [You be my friend]
How many of us have them [I'll be your friend]
Friends [We can all be friends, yeah]
A lover that we can depend on

Friends [How many of us have them]
Before we go any further
You know that I got my lady at home {I got my lady}
And you're faced with the reality that we're just

You know that I got my lady at home
And I'm sorry, sorry
