[Intro]

Yeah!

It's my tape, man

Listen to my tape

(I've waited

I've waited

Time went by

But all I could do is cry

Silly, silly) Woo!

[Chorus]

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend

[Verse 1]

First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin'

If we get past the phone games, we'll be fuckin'

I kiss like the French do, I put my tongue in your ear

Do it like the dogs do it, girl, and pull on your hair

For me, a different scenery just means a different position

In the tub or on the sink, I improvise, now listen

In the chopper or on the jet, join the mile-high club

I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love

But I'm a different type of nigga that make sure that you know

Instead of a rose, there's a hundred dozen of those

See I see somethin' special when I look in your eyes

With your legs way back, I see this pussy is mine

If you ain't sure when I'm talkin', I don't tell you no lies

But there's things that you say that have me wonderin' why

When I don't say what I'm thinkin', it don't mean that I'm shy

Got on that shit that you picked out for me, that's why I'm so fly

[Chorus]

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time

(I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time

(I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend

[Verse 2]

While you in your bubble bath, I'll come wash on your back

When you puttin' on your lotion, I can help you with that

I sit and think of things to say that may make you smile

Or give you gifts from my heart to reflect my style

Or slang I use when we build may change how you talk

And if I'm focused while I'm strokin', I could change how you walk

That's the swagger that you come with when you come from New York

I'm a hustler, I just hustle and the things that I bought

Separate me from the rest, I feel like I'm the best

If there's a price to pay for feelin' you, I pay that twice

I'm as ghetto as it gets, girl, you know that's right

I ain't got nothin' to hide, baby, I tell you my secrets

'Fore you end up bein' 'round long enough to peep shit

I get closer to you, I mean closer than close

I get into you, after I take off my clothes

Girl I been into you, mentally long before

[Chorus]

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time

(I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend

I want you 'round all the time

(I want you 'round me all the time)

Girl, I'll be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine (Girl, promise you'll be mine)

He say he's just a friend (Uh huh)

Now girl, let's not pretend (Come on)

Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha ha)

He say he's just a friend

If I was your best friend
