Just A Friend Lyrics - Too Phat

Verse 1 ( Malique ) 

have you ever met a gurl that you thought was perfect 

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

here's a lil' story bout this gurl i knew 

since 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 highskool she switched her desk next to mine 

so we could cheat while doing pop quizes all the time 

14th of February '93 

little Jenny said she had a big suprise for me 

gave me the very 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..... 

Chorus 2X 

you, you got what I need 

but you say he's just a friend, 

but you say he's just a friend 

Verse2 ( Malique ) 

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

I thought just having a friend it couldnt be no crime 

'cause even I have friends and babys that for sho 

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 gurl and maybe even bring our 

kids to that little tree house that we chilled at 

but then in '94 I couldnt 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 

Bridge ( VE ) 

You know, I know what you been up to 

I know you know what you been up to 

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 suprise 

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

I saw 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 gurl 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 gurl who says she just has a friend 

Chorus 

Verse 3 ( Joe Flizzow ) 

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 skool 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 

'cos Wanda always acted funny when wit' Mary Joe 

but when I caught'em kissin it wasnt funny no more 

baby smiled and just said she's just a friend yo....... 

Chorus 

( she )
