I see your homegirl tryna sway you How you figure I would play you Would you look at that? The same one that caught her nigga with some freak All in her sheets left for a week Then what she do? Double back Now I know we far from perfect But I feel like this is worth it, do you disagree with that? If not, then holla back Hey and tell ya girl you'll call her back My best friend say, she sick of me, crying on the phone Telling how her man dogging me My best friend say, don't tell her nothing 'bout me and you 'Cause she ain't showing me no sympathy My best friend say, if she was me, she woulda let ya go Home a long time ago My best friend say My best friend say I'll be there, I'll still be there for you In time of need You can lean on me Come on, come on I'll be there for you I'll be there for you In time of need You can lean on me Come on, come on I'll be there for you Now, now, now, now, know we be arguing But ain't you riding with me? We breaking up, we making up Like Dwayne Wayne and Whitley You throw things, you broke things Use both hands and hit me And right when you call the law I'll tell my boy to come get me Then you, then you start listening To friends, and then it gets tricky They try to tell you leave, but this love is real sticky So you ignore the hickeys The pics of chicks in they vicky's That they sent me, is that real love You're the only one that I will love Damn, damn My best friend says I can stay with her At her house, no doubt, anytime I like My best friend says Don't let you in my life 'cause you don't do for me And you don't act right My best friend says If she was me, she would let you go a long, long time ago My best friend says, my best friend says I'll still be there for you In time of need You can lean on me Come on, come on I'll be there for you I'll be there for you In time of need You can lean on me Come on, come on I'll be there for you Girl, I can see it in your eyes How you feeling? Let me know what's on your mind We've been together for a long long time Hey, girl, I can see it in your eyes I know to you it feel like I'm never around Round, round, round But if you leave me, then who else gon' hold me down?
