Just Friends-Too Phat (featuring VE)

You got what I need (Tributes to the old school)
Oh baby you, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend..

have you ever met a girl that you thought was perfect
you waited for her years cause you know she's worth it
here's a little story 'bout this girl I knew
just way back in pre-school sometime in 82
She has a two pony tail and her front tooth missing
with freckles in her cheeks cause her mums caucasian
upon a tree house is where we chill together
with coppers in the trunk saying friends forever
she the type who laugh when they normally cry
when they're busy playing hides we're busy playing 'bonny and clyde'
in grade school everybody knew we're partners in crime
we used to bully kids in playgrounds like all the time
we always stay holding hands to the principals office
the naughties in town and could no other kids stop us
in high school she switched her desk next to mine
so we could cheat of each other during pop quizes all the time
14th of february '93.. little jenny said she had a big surprise for me
gave me her very first kiss plus a ring and a card
saying "I love you and I have you here inside my heart"

A couple weeks later, called her house at 10
the mama said to me " I though you suppose to be with Jen"
I just rushed up to her crib, she just got out of her bed
I said " Yo, who was that?"
"Oh, he's just a friend"

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 Jenny's word just for it this time
I thought just being friends that couldn't be no crime
Cause even I have friends, yeah baby that's for sure
just like Watson, Hayle,Baby, Tash and Joe
So we never talk about that late nite snack with that man
we rather talk about the future we had planned
and what to name my kids like Alterika or Shayma, Aisha, Atisha for a girl
and even bring our little kids to the little tree house that we chilled at
But then at 94, I couldn't help but feel sad
Jenny had a little moving to getsome knowledge
a hundred miles away at this place called college
first couple of months it was cool but then it changed
she never called and acted like a strange who'e
one day I called her and it was picked up by a man
I called again she picked it up and said
"Yo that's just a friend"

you know I know
what'cha been up to..
what'cha been up to..
I know you know exactly what I'm talking about..
please help me say it..

This guy that's in her study group that once picked up the call
helping out with chemistry with cyclohexane and all
I got curious and ask her who else in the team
She said "Ali, Hassan, Nureen and Karim"
The next week I though of giving her a big surprise
But when infront of Jenny door I couldn't believe my eyes
I saw the same ugly van I saw in 93
I finally guest what a brother shouldn't see
I found him half naked with my girl on the couch
and baby Jenny moaning ** ** ** and ouch
So please listen to the message that I sing
Don't ever talk to a girl who said she just have a friend

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..

A cassanova pimp, man I had my flings
Who guessed a little goody-hoody is always a little player king
I tell you when I finally yield in 96
This time during my school I had a clash it's really sick
she made a pinnafore look like a dress so vogue
And her little shoes look all pair and clean
It's always white, whiter than anybody else's
Just like in ads in tv, man this honey was the nicest
I had to step on my game I told her my name
She said her name was Wanda, I found out that we live on the same street
she moved there five block down
and after 3 days and 6 banana splits
I had her locked down
We were fine but had this little problem though
Cause Wanda always acted funny with my mates yo!
But when I caught them kissing it wasn't funny no more
With a big smile he just said "she's just a friend y'all"

you, you got what I need
But you say she's just a friend..
But you say she's just a friend..
Oh baby you, you got what I need
But you say she's just a friend..
But you say she's just a friend..
