And when you see me in the spot (O oh)
Boy, I want you
I want you to know your place
Because I love you
I love everything about you (O oh)
It's been a minute, it's been a long time
Been a good friend to you, Girl
(O oh)
Since I have been a good friend to you
So I guess this is the part where I say
"Bye" (O oh)
I say, "Bye" (O oh)
