|
I saw this girl from like around the way |
|
I told her |
|
I was the |
|
B I Z Emezah |
|
AShe said she know my reputation, know |
|
I got clout |
|
And like to get to know me without no doubt |
|
So we started havin' long telephone conversations |
|
Tryin' to feel each other out, showin' a lot of patience |
|
Was a hook-up from my man, word bond she was bad |
|
If I met her whole family |
|
I would kiss her dad |
|
So in my mind |
|
I was thinkin' she really likes me |
|
She got a good head on her shoulder and she's no dummy |
|
Me and her had compatible horoscopes |
|
But she bugged me out, so bad |
|
I was on the ropes |
|
Now when I was with her, my shoulders shrugged |
|
Because when |
|
I reached out for a kiss and hug |
|
She mushed me in my face and smiled with a grin |
|
And said this question |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
I knew she was different, a very special gal |
|
For the time being, |
|
I shall respect her wishes |
|
She wasn't a groupie |
|
I understand, she said she just had met me |
|
I liked her for that, a woman with morals |
|
She called me every day, so |
|
I saw she was loyal |
|
It bugged me out 'cause |
|
I don't usually wait |
|
But on a scale of one to ten, she was a twenty-eight |
|
We was goin' out on the reg', movies and dinner |
|
Always stay at my house, way past ten o' clock |
|
I thought she really really liked me |
|
I did the right thing like my name was |
|
Spike LeeShe had her own car, so |
|
I walked her to the door |
|
Like Busta |
|
Rhymes, I said, "Gimme some more" |
|
So I put my lips out to get a kiss and she said just like this |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
|
I knew somethin' was wrong because my mack is correct |
|
Talkin' for six months and didn't hit it yet |
|
I thought |
|
I was slippin' or maybe in a slump |
|
I felt like |
|
Eddie Murphy when he was |
|
Professor |
|
KlumpNo, it can't be, she's here every day |
|
So I don't know why she'd wanna treat me this way |
|
I gotta investigate like |
|
Magnum P.I. |
|
I just don't understand why, oh, why |
|
So the next time |
|
I saw her, she was unhappy |
|
She had a frown on her face and real jumpy |
|
I said, "Yo what's wrong?" |
|
I was real concerned |
|
The way she looked her life had took a real turn |
|
She said, "I went to court today," and |
|
I said, "What?""If I tell you this, you're gonna go nut" |
|
I said, "Tell me, I can take it, I won't pretend""I gotta go to jail for life, so" |
|
Why can't we be friends? |
