Just a Friend
Toni Romiti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said she's just a friend,
And I believed you
but now she's in our bed
I can't believe you I can't believe you would do this to me, you would do this to me,
I can't believe that I believe all those lies you told me
On my way home
I called you up, I called you up
didn't think you were home
but when I pulled up I saw your truck
Wait a minute whose car is this
Wait a minute I'm super pissed,
I don't recall buying a Lexus no
Imma turn this bitch right down
if you got a bitch in my house,
Imma bout to start the countdown
5, 4, open the door like
You said she's just a friend,
and I believed you
but now she's in our bed
I can't believe you I can't believe
you would do this to me
you would do this to me
I can't believe that I believe all those lies you told me
Don't stop now,
the dirt is already done
How could you be so foul,
I swear I thought you were the one
I'm looking in your eyes,
you're looking all surprised,
cuz I'm holding this knife
Imma show you what crazy looks like,
do you want it fast or slow
I need to know right now,
call the popo cuz it's about to go down
You said that she was just a friend,
but when I walk in yall are butt naked noo…
You said she's just a friend,
and I believed you
but now she's in our bed
I can't believe you I can't believe
you would do this to me




you would do this to me
I can't believe that I believe all those lies you told me
