(It sound right, boy)
(Woo!)
I'm obsessive, but I promise I won't fall in love
You don't like me like that
I understand, I see it all
I see from both perspectives
Been down that road before
But why can't we be best friends?
No not nothing more
One day you told me it was as if you'd known me your whole life
I felt more loved than anyone could ever be
You left me here alone, wounds in my back from your knife
Yeah your words, they were the knife
But at first, they were the cure
You made me feel unbroken
Now I'm breaking harder than before
Yeah I've never felt so damn open
(And I sing)
Why can't we be best friends?
(No not nothing more)
Why's it gotta come and end?
(You're walking out the door)
Now I'm down here on my knees
(And I'm begging please)
Why can't we be best friends?
(No not nothing more...)
I catch you staring 'cross the room
The words just don't come out
You got me actin' like a fool
And there ain't no doubt
You and I, we're meant to be
Can't get you out my head
Check your location just to see (Ooh!)
It's better left unsaid (Shh...)
I see you with them other girls
And how you look at them
Wishin' I was your whole world
But I'm just a friend (But I'm...just a friend)
Now you're cutting me off
Like a flower with no stem (Hey)
But at first, it was a game
We would chase each other 'til we were tired
Feeling anxious calling out your name
Pull the plug on us, and cut the wire
(And I sing)
Why can't we be best friends?
(No not nothing more)
Why's it gotta come and end?
(You're walking out the door)
Now I'm down here on my knees
(And I'm begging please)
Why can't we be best friends?
(No not nothing more...)
I'm just lookin' for a temporary friend
Best friend is where I cross the line
You and I together with no end
I, I promise, I won't cross the line (I thought I'd found the one)
If you cross the line (I thought you were the one)
I just might cross the line (It wasn't love I was looking for, maybe that's what you thought?)
(The line, the line, hey)
Why can't we be more than friends?
(I want it all and more)
Why can't we start before the end?
(Don't walk out the door)
And I'm still down here on my knees
(Do I even have to beg?)
Why can't we be best friends?
(No not nothing more...)
(No not nothing more)
(Don't walk out that door)
(Don't, don't walk out the door)
(Nah I'm just f*ckin' with ya)
Singin' ahh, ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah
(Whatchu wanna do baby? It's on you, boy)
Ahhh
