Intro

x2

1st verse

 I met a girl that I wanted to date

make love to her but she wanted me to wait

I met her on tour at my concert

She had long hair and a short skirt

I was onstage my clothes are covered with sweat

 And walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met

Refr.:

Uuh, you got what I need

 but you say he's just a friend

 And you say he's just a friend

Interlude

x2

2nd verse

So I took a word at this time

I thought just havin' a friend sure couldn't be no crime

'cause I got friends and girls and that is cool

Like Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq

The show was over, she went back to school

I called every day to see how she was doin'

Somehow I knew it seemed that somethin' was brewin', trouble was brewing

Refr.:

Uuuh, you got what I need

but you say he's just a friend

And you say he's just a friend x2

3rd verse:

So the month passed by I went to visit her in college

To my surprise thought things are pretty stalled

I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm

The man at the desk filled out a visitor's form

I went upstairs and opened up the door

I saw a fellow making love to my girl on the floor, oh shit!

Refr.:

You, you got what I need

but you say he's just a friend

And you say he's just a friend

Outro

So listen to the words I say

Don't talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
