Valerie Simpson
Best Friend
[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 n***a 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
