Friends

I saw this girl from like around the way
I told her
I was the
B I Z Emezah
AShe said she know my reputation, know
I got clout
And like to get to know me without no doubt
So we started havin long telephone conversations
Tryin to feel each other out, showin a lot of patience
Was a hook-up from my man, word bond she was bad
If I met her whole family
I would kiss her dad
So in my mind
I was thinkin she really likes me
She got a good head on her shoulder and shes no dummy
Me and her had compatible horoscopes
But she bugged me out, so bad
I was on the ropes
Now when I was with her, my shoulders shrugged
Because when
I reached out for a kiss and hug
She mushed me in my face and smiled with a grin
And said this question
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
I knew she was different, a very special gal
For the time being,
I shall respect her wishes
She wasnt a groupie
I understand, she said she just had met me
I liked her for that, a woman with morals
She called me every day, so
I saw she was loyal
It bugged me out cause
I dont usually wait
But on a scale of one to ten, she was a twenty-eight
We was goin out on the reg, movies and dinner
Always stay at my house, way past ten o clock
I thought she really really liked me
I did the right thing like my name was
Spike LeeShe had her own car, so
I walked her to the door
Like Busta
Rhymes, I said, 'Gimme some more'
So I put my lips out to get a kiss and she said just like this
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
Why cant we be friends?
I knew somethin was wrong because my mack is correct
Talkin for six months and didnt hit it yet
I thought
I was slippin or maybe in a slump
I felt like
Eddie Murphy when he was
Professor
KlumpNo, it cant be, shes here every day
So I dont know why shed wanna treat me this way
I gotta investigate like
Magnum P.I.
I just dont understand why, oh, why
So the next time
I saw her, she was unhappy
She had a frown on her face and real jumpy
I said, 'Yo whats wrong?'
I was real concerned
The way she looked her life had took a real turn
She said, 'I went to court today,' and
I said, 'What?' 'If I tell you this, youre gonna go nut'
I said, 'Tell me, I can take it, I wont pretend''I gotta go to jail for life, so'
Why cant we be friends ?
