Can't be Friends
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you don't do one night stands
So I'm the closest thing
Now can we fuck and still be friends, though?
And if you haven't fucked a friend (I'm just sayin')
I'd be the closest thing (haha, I, I'd be the closest thing)
So can we fuck and still be friends, though?
You know?
Bitch, you can't be my girlfriend
I got a girl, and my girl got a girl too (too)
Scarface crib, it's my world too, uh (it's my world too)
My pillow recognize her perfume
Tell her man, "Relax," she'll make it home by curfew (haha)
Tom Ford cologne (oh), I look like I'm on (ay)
Playboy Mansion, "Honey, I'm home" (honey I'm home)
Backdoor to Oracle, fuck it I'm home (woo)
King of the Bay, getting dome on my throne, uh
Dime and in the rough, uncut gyms
She not my girlfriend though, we just friends (just friends)
Somehow I fit six, all in one Benz (one Benz)
All of us fuck buddies, all fuck friends
Lookin' like a snack, she'll devour me (ay)
Your boyfriend's whole salary's my hourly (haha)
Throwin' bands in Miami, it's showerin' (it's showerin')
Bad boy, I'm the white Mike Lowrey (haha, yee)
I know you don't do one night stands
So I'm the closest thing (I'm the closest thing, baby)
Now, can we fuck and still be friends, though?
(Can we fuck and still be friends, you know?)
And if you haven't fucked a friend, I'd be the closest thing (haha)
So can we fuck and still be friends, though?
(I'm just sayin', yee)
Yeah, T-Raww
I can pull any bitch, man, it's automatic
Pussy, money, alcohol, I'm a big fanatic
And my diamonds OD, so dramatic (big)
Like I'm Adam Sandler, she call me "Big Daddy" (yeah)
I'm insane in the brain, what you know 'bout it? (Ay)
I got shawty and her friend, waitin' in the lobby (yes)
Loggin' in my account, that's my favorite hobby (yes)
I like a new bitch, with a new body (ah)
Bad bitch, I need all that (all that)
Here's my number, you can call that (call that)
Tell your nigga he can fall back (fall back)
I'm wanna make you mine, wanna my own at (own at)
Go shawty, it's your birthday (birthday)
Simon says, "Do what I say" (I say)
Drink it up, I know you're thirsty (thirsty)
She said, "Baby make it hard, but don't hurt me," ay
I know you don't do one night stands
So I'm the closest thing
Now can we fuck and still be friends, though?
And if you haven't fucked a friend
I'd be the closest thing
So can we fuck and still be friends, though?
Lil' mama thirsty, I said thirsty
Shawty, they ain't fuckin' with you on your worst day
And she cut a nigga off, give 'em first-aid
How the hell she fit the gym and a work day?
I got wristwatch I got big Glocks
I got bunch of pretty bitches tryna liplock
See the Rollie on my wrist, and it don't tick-tock
If you nasty when I fuck you, let my bitch watch
I said, "Right cheek," I said, "Left cheek"
Hit it so good, you gon' feel it next week
When I kill the pussy they gon' arrest me
I be lookin' at it like, "Don't test me"
Shake that ass on a nigga like, duh duh duh
I be all up in the pussy 'til there's none left there
In the nighttime, 'til the sun up, yeah
No pun intended, shawty you a come up, yeah, ay
I know you don't do one night stands
So I'm the closest thing
Now can we fuck and still be friends, though?
And if you haven't fucked a friend
I'd be the closest thing
So can we fuck and still be friends, though?
In Tyga's "Can't be Friends," he asks a woman if they can still be friends even after they have sex. He acknowledges that the woman doesn't engage in one night stands, but he wants to be considered, as he's the closest thing to a friend she can have sex with. He also emphasizes that she cannot be his girlfriend since he already has a girlfriend who has a girlfriend as well. He boasts about his wealth and status, including living in a Scarface crib, his pillow recognizing his crush's perfume, and his diamonds being so large that they're dramatic.
Tyga continues to brag about his lifestyle and sexual prowess in the second verse. He raps about being able to get any woman he wants with ease, including two waiting in his lobby. He teases her about her thirstiness for him and her inability to resist his charms. Tyga also references the act of threesomes and how he can have one woman watch him have sex with another.
The lyrics to "Can't be Friends" largely focus on Tyga's braggadocious nature, his money, and his sexual experiences. He emphasizes his wealth through his possessions and his ability to attract women, both those he's casually involved with and those he's not. He wants to continue to have sex with the woman he's interested in without ruining their friendship, which is the premise behind the song.
