Friends Before Lovers

[Verse 1:] Uh, she was a little bit shorter than me A little bit older than me But when she started noticing me It was everything I thought it would be No it was better (better), more better A whole lot of pressure made me keep it from the world And I was getting pleasure outta cheating on my girl Sneaking and creeping and hardly ever speaking Till I started visiting your crib on the weekend I remember when you sat down and learned all my songs And in the background we made love, all night long I never thought of catching feelings that will be this strong For something that feels so right, it can't be wrong I was too busy thinking about my daily buzz Instead of recognizing what we had, maybe love I wish I can take it back to the way we was You know before you was my lady, cause [Chorus:] We were friends Then we were lovers Now we can't stand seeing each other What am I gonna do What did I do to you To make you say that we're through You said it so it must be true [Verse 2:] Getting high, telling lies What made the relationship die Or maybe it never lived I gave what I could give Even when I couldn't, used take care of you at the crib I was doing it big then I kinda slacked off When I ain't had no bread, that's when you backed off The love that I thought I'd found and got lost And if it got your boy rattled like a bad cough Yeah I'm mad for it, but she is too Did a U-turn cause you didn't want to see shit through Tried to keep it cool but you act like you ain't have sense Left me a message and I ain't called you back since I'm doing black flips thinking it over You got me so messed up I had to drink to get sober And the web you was weaving bout tangled the soldier But you was the only plan I ever stuck to And baby that's why I love you [Chorus:] We were friends Then we were lovers Now we can't stand seeing each other What am I gonna do What did I do to you To make you say that we're through You said it so it must be true [Verse 3:] Sitting back and I'm thinking bout it Wishin' I could get her back but I really doubt it Cause ain't enough words I can say for the lies I told And like Mary J, she don't wanna cry no more Plus I get the feeling she done move on to the next Cause she don't return calls or respond to my text I don't know what I did to make you act like that But listen I just want my best friend back, holla [Chorus: x2] We were friends Then we were lovers Now we can't stand seeing each other What am I gonna do What did I do to you To make you say that we're through You said it so it must be true
