I see her everyday But she turns her face away Her eyes tell me the pain in her heart Why I ask myself again Does she stay with that man Who brings her only pain, only pain She forgives him Just the same When she cries she comes to me As a friend Just a friend I know that she loves me As a friend Only if she could know How much pain I feel when she goes to him The memory still remains The same Memory still remains He will greet me with a smile As he does Everyday Questions crying in his eyes I've turned away But comes the night, refrain I'll be with her again Even though I'm just a friend Just a friend Even though I'm just a friend

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date But a year to make love she wanted you to wait? Well, let me tell you a story of my situation I was talking to this girl from the US nation The way that I met her was on tour at a concert She had long hair and a short miniskirt I just got onstage, drippin', pourin' with sweat I was walkin' through the crowd, and guess who I met? I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth So I can ask you some questions See if you are a hundred proof" I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah She had 9/10 pants (and a very big bra) I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused I said, "How do you like the show?" She said, "I was very amused" I started throwin' bass She started throwin' back mid-range But when I sprung the question She acted kind of strange Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?" She tried to pretend She said, "No I don't, I only have a friend" Come on! Oh, baby You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time I thought havin' a friend couldn't be no crime 'Cause I got friends, and that's a fact Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq Forget about that, let's go into the story About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me So we started talkin, getttin familiar Spendin' a lot of time so we can build up A relationship or some undderstanding How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin Everything sounded so dandy and sweet I had no idea I was in for a treat After this was established, everything was cool The tour was over and she went back to school I called every day to see how she was doin' Everytime that I called it seemed like somethin' was brewin' I called her on my dime, picked up, and then I called again I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend" Oh no! Oh baby You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend Damn girl, what you want from me? I'll give you anything Want any kind of subscription to a magazine? Give you a potato A mask of some sort I love you So I came to her college on a surprise visit To see my girl that was so exquisite It was a school day, I knew she was there The first semester of the school year I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm This guy made me fill out a visitor's form So I did, and I was on my way To see my baby girl, I was happy to say I rolled up to her dormitory Yo, could you tell me where is door three? He told me where it was, and for the moment I didn't know that I was in for such an event I went to her room, I opened the door Oh, snap! Guess what I saw? A fella tongue-kissin my girl in the mouth I was so in shock my heart went down south Please listen to the message that I send Don't ever talk to a girl Who says she just has a friend Oh baby, you, you got what I need-doowah But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend Oh baby, you Girl
