Ooooh!

I know I hurt you sometimes
But that's the way I'm like
I know that you been tryin'
But that ain't my style

And when I go
I know you cry
And then you call me
Oh baby tell me why

So we oughta be be be just friends
And things must be be be the same
But I'll be here for you 'till the end
The end

I know I hurt you sometimes
That's the way I'm like
I know that you been tryin'
But that ain't my style

And when I go
I know girl, you cry, Oh yeah!
An'en you call me
Oh baby tell 'em why

So we oughta be be be just friends
And things must be be be the same
But I'll be here for you 'till the end
The end

Ooh! Ooh Ooh!

Damn it, you gotta go and see
That things ain't work like they're supposed to be
You shouldn't change it
Cuz' we've been ever free
We can't pretend, he's my friend
What's going on KV?

Ooh

So we oughta be be be just friends
And things must be be be the same
But I'll be here for you 'till the end
The end
So we oughta, we gotta be, we oughta be just friends
And things must be, must be the same




But I'll be here for you 'till the end (the end)
The end
