Just a Friend 2002
Mario Lyrics

You ready for it, man
I am about to confess my feelings and I want to make sure you are ready to listen.

I want to know your name and
I am interested in you and would like to know your name.

I want to know if you got a man (I want to know)
I am interested in you and would like to know if you are currently in a relationship.

I want to know everything
I am deeply interested in getting to know you and everything about you.

I want to know ya number and if I can come over and
I would like to have your phone number and permission to visit you.

I want to know what ya like
I am eager to learn about your preferences and interests.

I want to know, so I can do it all night
I would like to please you and make you happy all night long.

But you're telling me I'm just a friend
You see me only as a friend and do not share my romantic interest in you.

You're telling me I'm just a friend
You are making it clear that you do not see me as a potential romantic partner.

Oh baby you (oh baby you)
I am trying to flatter you and express my attraction to you.

Got what I need (got what I need)
I feel that you possess the qualities that I find attractive and desirable.

But you say I'm just a friend (say I'm just a friend)
You have made it clear that you do not share my romantic interest in you and only consider me a friend.

'Cause I can be your ('cause I can be your)
I believe that I have the potential to be your ideal romantic partner.

Fantasy
I can fulfill your dreams and desires and be the perfect companion for you.

But you say I'm just a friend (say I'm just a friend)
Despite my desires, you have only friend-zoned me and do not want to pursue a romantic relationship.

I want to know you in and out
I am interested in getting to know your personality, thoughts, emotions, and preferences in-depth.

I want to know what you're all about (I want to know)
I want to understand your interests, passions, and unique qualities as a person.

I want to know what makes you laugh
I would like to know what makes you happy and brings joy to your life.

I want to know about your past
I am curious about your personal history, including your experiences, challenges, and achievements.

I want to know how you move
I am interested in your physical movements and would like to learn how you express yourself through actions.

I want to know so I can move too (I want to know)
I would like to adapt to your movements and preferences, so we can connect better with each other.

Telling me I'm just a friend
You are making it clear that a platonic relationship is all we have and that you are not interested in anything more.

Oh baby you (oh baby you)
I am still feeling a strong attraction to you and want to convey my feelings to you.

Girl I can be your (girl I can be your)
I believe that I can fulfill your romantic fantasies and desires and be your ideal partner.

Just want to be your
I am making a final plea to be more than just friends and expressing my desire to be your romantic partner.

Can I be your fantasy
I believe I can be the perfect partner to fulfill all your romantic desires and be your dream companion.

Give me one reason why (why)
I am challenging you to give me a reason why we cannot be together romantically.

You wouldn't want this kinda guy
I am trying to persuade you by emphasizing my desirable qualities and suggesting that you would be lucky to have me.

Girl, stop playing games wit me
I am frustrated by your mixed signals and want you to stop playing with my emotions.

Let's get it on tonight (tonight)
I am proposing that we take our relationship to the next level and spend a romantic evening together.

You got nothing to lose
I am trying to reassure you that taking a chance on me will not result in any negative consequences.

Let me do what I do (what I do)
I am expressing confidence in myself and my abilities to make you happy and fulfill your romantic fantasies.

(Come on girl)
I am trying to convince you one last time to give me a chance and be more than just friends.

You can call me anytime you like (oh anytime)
I am offering my availability and willingness to be there for you whenever you need me.

It doesn't matter day or night (said it doesn't matter)
I am emphasizing my unconditional availability and willingness to be with you whenever and wherever.

We can do whatever you (oh)
I am suggesting that we can do anything you desire and fulfill all your romantic fantasies.

Want to do it's up to you
I am giving you the freedom and control to choose what we do together.

Don't fight the feeling that you feel (don't fight the feelin)
I am encouraging you to embrace your romantic feelings for me and not resist them.

I can tell that it's real (oh girl)
I am confident that your feelings for me are genuine and not just superficial.

Why you say I'm just a friend
I am still struggling to understand why you only see me as a friend and cannot reciprocate my romantic interest.
