Whoah whoah whoah whoah
Yeah yeah
Oh huh uh huh
Whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah woah
Yeah yeah uh
Turn me up
It don't cost 100 to be real as fuck Tried to fuck with you the long way more than once
But you was acting like you ain't looking for love
We can just call a truce
Or we can just keep it cool
Or we can play like a fool
But I ain't even tryna play around with you
Friend zone me please yeah yeah Friend zone me please
Don't have me feeling like
I have to be in your life
Way more than I been
When you know that I can't no no Just friend zone me baby
Ain't got no time to drive you crazy no
I don't have the mind to put you on my time
I tried to fuck with you with real shit but you gave me lies
Saying you had nothing but some on the side
You should've already knew I was on the rise
Know a lot of chicks want someone verified
But you be acting like I ain't that guy I cannot look surprised
Can't turn a hoe into a housewife
All I wanna know is what the hell is going through your mind
All I wanna know is why the hell you always play with mine
Life you don't care about my life
Only thing you care about is if I got the price
Is that every woman
Something different that you never seen but you always overlook it
Tell me everything that I need to do yeah
I'm tryna turn up the turn up the volume yeah
Turn me up
It don't cost 100 to be real as fuck Tried to fuck with you the long way more than once
But you was acting like you ain't looking for love
We can just call a truce
Or we can just keep it cool
Or we can play like a fool
But I ain't even tryna play around with you
Friend zone me please yeah yeah Friend zone me please
Don't have me feeling like
I have to be in your life
Way more than I been
When you know that I can't no no Just friend zone me baby
Ain't got no time to drive you crazy no
Friend zone me please
Friend zone me please




Friend zone me please
Friend zone me please

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Travis's song "Friends" express the desire to be placed in the friend zone rather than continuing to pursue a romantic relationship where one person is not interested in the other. The first verse talks about trying to make things work with someone who is not interested in love, but ultimately deciding to call a truce and remain friends or just move on. The second verse touches on the frustration of feeling played and lied to, as well as the realization that some people only care about money and status. The chorus repeats the request to be put in the friend zone, rather than being strung along or driven crazy.


Overall, the song's message is one of self-respect and the importance of valuing oneself enough to not settle for someone who is not fully invested in the relationship. It encourages healthy boundaries and mutual respect instead of trying to force something that is not meant to be.
