Yo, this is a lesson in friendship
|
The depths of a kinship
|
What women and men begin with, and then slip
|
My pen drips
|
As I scribble my thoughts on thin strips
|
Of emotion
|
A fraction, seduction, attraction
|
Eruption of passion
|
Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved
|
But love to cross the line
|
But that's why we built these walls
|
|
[Hook: Nelly Furtado]
|
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
|
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
|
I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time
|
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
|
|
[Akil]
|
Opposite's attract
|
When the female and male come in contact
|
Sticky situation in fact
|
Tryin not to let the feelings catch
|
But there's a thin line between both of y'all
|
So you respect that
|
And entertain the idea, but get brought back
|
To reality, and could you really live with that?
|
Decision, based on intuition
|
You love and keep your distance
|
Hug and kiss in friendship
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
An ongoing kinship, we was people to begin with
|
Disrespect was not intended
|
but your feelings sparked the sentence
|
Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent
|
The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent
|
|

|
Man, too bad that we became friends first
|
I'm not on expert on how relationships should work
|
But, (echos) from the minute it as known
|
It changed the whole tone on how we spoke on the phone
|
Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasn't enough
|
And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up
|
Over you, all my buddies would swoon
|
But I felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room. (Damn)
|
But to me girl, you're still off limits
|
No matter all the times that I hinted. (Yo, whatchu doin after this?)
|
Infactuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended
|
So I wouldn't lose the friendship
|
Maybe, I should spill all my guts
|
Or write a letter, then tear it up
|
Or do a song, just to say what's up
|
I want ... just ... a touch
|
|
[(Hook) - repeat 2X]

[Nelly Furtado]
|
I can't do this anymore
|
See my heart just falls out when you walk in the door
|
Friendship turns into lust and this only tip
|
That I can't comprehend even if I knew it
|
Can't do justice to these things that I'm feeling
|
You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealing
|
Hell if she knew she would never leave us alone
|
in the roo-ooo-ooom
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
This was a lesson in friendship
|
I stress in this sentence
|
Should women and men be friends first?
|
And then slip?
|
My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips
|
of devotion
|
|
[Akil]
|
Opposites attract
|
And best friends make a perfect match
|
If you only knew that
|
Once you cross, ain't no turning back
|
The minute you let him in it and he hit that
|
That's that
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless
|
Jeporidizing kinship, respect is intended
|
Resolve is my intent
|
While we got it in
|
I'm tryin to salvage a friendship
|
