[Verse 1]
Couldn't tell you why I ain't know this before
I guess that's what I get for not paying attention
But when did you get so cool and so beautiful?
I know we said we're just friends but now I'm second guessing

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how but somehow now everything's different
You know me, you've been around
So this ain't no game
All I'm tryna say is you can get it in a special way
But

[Chorus]
Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?
Before we start kissing
And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?
But I ain't on a mission
Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya
I'm just tryna keep it real
So what's the deal?
Could we be friends — with benefits, huh?
[Verse 2]
Who ever said sex with friends never works, huh?
Yeah, you might be right but I beg to differ
'Cause, there just ain't no way of getting around getting hurt, no
But I don't see how it means we can't get together

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't gon' lie, I know this ain't gon' last forever
No, but we'll cross that bridge when it's time
Just as long as everything's understood
Whatever happens, we gon' still be good 'cause

[Chorus]
Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?
Before we start kissing
And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?
But I ain't on a mission
Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya
I'm just tryna keep it real
So what's the deal?
Could we be friends — with benefits, huh?
[Bridge]
I know you got a lot to think about, I know
But girl is there someway we can make this real?
I know it's sudden, I know you need some time
Take as much as you need
It's whatever you want, baby

[Chorus]
Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?
Before we start kissing
And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings
I'm just tryna keep it real
What's the deal?
Can we be friends — with benefits, huh?

[Outro]
I ain't on a mission
Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya
I'm just tryna keep it real
So what's the deal?
Could we be friends — with benefits, huh?
