| Yo, this is a lesson in friendship
|
| The depths of a kinship
|
| What women and men begin with, and then slip
|
| My pen drips
|
| As I scribble my thoughts on thin strips
|
| Of emotion
|
| A fraction, seduction, attraction
|
| Eruption of passion
|
| Corrupts if a lasted friendship’s involved
|
| Would love to cross the line
|
| But that’s why we built these walls
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| Opposites attract
|
| When the female and male come in contact
|
| Sticky situation in fact
|
| Tryin not to let the feelings catch
|
| But there’s a thin line between both of y’all
|
| So you respect that
|
| And entertain the idea, but get brought back
|
| To reality, and could you really live with that?
|
| Decision, based on intuition
|
| You love and keep your distance
|
| Hug and kiss in friendship
|
| An ongoing kinship, we was people to begin with
|
| Disrespect was not intended
|
| But your feelings sparked the sentence
|
| Sometimes you’re too intense in your quest to invent
|
| The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| Man, too bad that we became friends first
|
| I’m not an expert on how relationships should work
|
| But, (echos) from the minute it as known
|
| It changed the whole tone on how we spoke on the phone
|
| Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasn’t enough
|
| And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up
|
| Over you, all my buddies would swoon
|
| But I felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room. |
| (Damn)
|
| But to me girl, you’re still off limits
|
| No matter all the times that I hinted (Yo, whatchu doin after this?)
|
| Infactuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended
|
| So I wouldn’t lose the friendship
|
| Maybe, I should spill all my guts
|
| Or write a letter, then tear it up
|
| Or do a song, just to say what’s up
|
| I want just a touch
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I can’t do this anymore
|
| See my heart just spills out when you walk in the door
|
| Friendship turns into lust and this only tip
|
| That I can’t comprehend even if I knew it
|
| Can’t do justice to these things that I’m feeling
|
| You got someone else, don’t wanna be caught stealing
|
| Hell if she knew she would never leave us alone
|
| In the roo-ooo-ooom
|
| This was a lesson in friendship
|
| I stress in this sentence
|
| Should women and men be friends first?
|
| And then slip?
|
| My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips
|
| Of devotion
|
| Opposites attract
|
| And best friends make a perfect match
|
| If you only knew that
|
| Once you cross, ain’t no turning back
|
| The minute you let him in it and he hit that
|
| That’s that
|
| We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless
|
| Jeopardizing kinship, respect is intended
|
| Resolve is my intent
|
| While we got it in
|
| I’m tryin to salvage a friendship
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
| Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
| I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
| Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
| We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
