Just A Friend

Just A Friend - Too Phat/V.E.

You got what I need oh yeah

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

Have you ever met a girl that you thought was perfect

You waited for her years 'cause you know she worth it

Here's a lil' story bout this girl I knew

Just wayback in pre-school sometime in '82

She had 'em two pony tails and a front tooth missin'

Wit' freckles on her cheeks cause the moms caucasian

Up on a tree house is where we chilled together

With carvings on the trunk saying friends forever

She the type who laugh when the normally cried

And when they busy playing house we playin' bonnie and clyde

In grade school everybody knew we partners in crime

We usta bully kids in playgrounds like all the time

We always seen holdin' hands to the principal's office

The naughtiest in town and could no other kid stop us

In high school she switched her desk next to mine

So we could cheat while doing pop quizzes all the time

14th of February '93

Little Jenny said she had a big surprise for me

Gave me the very first kiss and plus a ring and a card

And said I love you so I gave her the rest of my heart

A coupla weeks later called her house at 10

The mama said I thought you suppose to be with Jen

I quickly rushed to the crib she just got out of a van

I'm like yo who was that oh he's just a friend

You you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

So I took Jenny's word for it at this time

I thought just having a friend it couldn't be no crime

'Cause even now I have friends and baby that's for show

Just like Watson Hailee Baby Tash and Joe

So we never talked about that late snack with van man

We rather talk about the future we have planned and

What to name our kids al-Tarique or Shaymar

Ayesha or Tisha for a girl and maybe even bring our kids

To that little tree house that we chilled then

But then in '94 I couldn't help it but feel sad

Jenny had to leave me to go get a little knowledge

100 miles away in this place they call college

First coupla months it was cool but then it changed yo

She never called and really acted like a strange ho

One day I called it was picked up by a man

I called again she picked it up and said hey that's just a friend

You know you know

I know I know baby what you been up to

What you been up to

I know I know

You know you know exatly what I'm talkin' about

They help me see you

This guy in her study group's the one who picked up the call

Helpin' her in chemistry wit cyclohexanol

I got curious and asked her who else in ya team

She said Ali Hassan Noreen and Kareem

The next week I thought of givin' her a little surprise

But when in front of Jenny's dorm I cound't believe my eyes

I say the same ugly van I saw in '93

I found her room but guess what a brother had to see

A fella half naked with my girl on the couch

And baby Jenny moaning uggg uggh aggh and ouch

So please listen to the message that I sing

Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend

You you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

A lil' casanova pimp man I had my flings

Hoodrats to goodie hoodies I was lil' playa king

I'll tell ya when my final year in '96

This hunny new in school joined my class she really sick

She made her pinafore look like a dress from Rodeo

And clean white shoes lookin' Ferra than Gamo's

And white blouse seemed whiter than everybody else's

Just like them ads on TV man this hunny was the nicest

I had to step up my game and I told her my name

She said her name was Wanda I found out

That we lived on the same street she moved in 5 blocks down

And after 3 dates and 6 banana splits I had it locked down

We was tight but had this lil's problem though

'Cause Wanda always acted funny when wit' Mary Joe

But when I caught'em kissin' it wasn't funny no more

Baby smiled and just said she's just a friend yo

You you got what I need

But you say she's just a friend

But you say she's just a friend

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say she's just a friend

But you say she's just a friend

You're just a friend

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say she's just a friend

Oh baby you you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend

Oh
