Best Friend

Yeah
This my tape man
Listen to my tape

I've waited (I've waited)
Time went by (Yeah, yeah)

But I still (Woo)
If I was your best friend

I'd want you 'round all the time
I want you 'round me all the time
Can I be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine?
Girl, I promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend (Uh-huh)
Now girl, let's stop pretendin' (Come on)
Either he is or he ain't your man (Haha)
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend

First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin'
If we get past the phone games, we'll be (Uh-huh)
I kiss like the French then 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, on the jet, join the mile high club
I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love, haha

You said that I could call you whenever
I needed someone to listen to me
That's why I'm here standin' by your side '
Cause you always come through for me
So many others tried to be where you are, they just wanted to do me
But you took your time and now I'm
Satisfied, that's why I want you all to me

'Cause if you were my best friend
I'd want you 'round all the time

I want you 'round me, baby
Can I be your best friend?
I promise, boy, you'll be mine
Oh baby, be mine
I said he's just a friend
Baby, it's not pretend
Either he is or he ain't my man
I said 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
Can I be your best friend
If you promise you'll be mine?
Girl, I promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend (Uh-huh)
Now girl, let's stop pretendin' (Come on)
Either he is or he ain't your man (Haha)
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend

While you in your bubble bath, I can wash on your back
When you're 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
Slang I use when we build may change how you talk
And if I'm focused while I'm strokin', I can change how you walk
This the swagger that you come with when you come from New York
I'm a hustler, I just hustle in the things that I bought
Separate, come on, come on

I'm not afraid to explore my body
Ooh, give me that feelin'
We can watch some TV or play a CD
Maybe that's sexual healin'
You try to sing to me, you're never on the key
But you do it just to appease me
I'd rather spend my time wastin' time with you
Ooh, you make it so easy

'Cause if you were my best friend
I'd want you 'round all the time
I want you 'round all the time
Can I be your best friend?
I promise, boy, you'll be mine
Please, baby, be mine, yeah
I said he's just a friend (Oh no)
Baby, it's not pretend (No, baby)
Either he is or he ain't my man (No)
I said he's just a friend

We've been better than friends for a long time
Ain't no need to pretend, you'll always be mine
We've been better than friends for a long time
Ain't no need to pretend, you'll always be mine

If I was your best friend

I'd want you 'round all the time
I want you 'round me all the time
Can I be your best friend

If you promise you'll be mine?
Girl, I promise you'll be mine
Please say he's just a friend (Uh-huh)
Now girl, let's stop pretendin' (Come on)
Either he is or he ain't your man (Haha)
Please say he's just a friend
If I was your best friend
