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 say 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
