[Verse One]
I saw this girl from like around the way
I told her I was the B-I-Z Emezah-A
She 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 liked me
She got a good head on her shoulder and she`s 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 smiles with a grin
And said this question
[Chorus]
Why can`t we be friends? We can`t we be friends?
Why can`t we, be, friends? We can`t we be friends?
Why can`t we be friends? We can`t we be friends?
Why can`t we, be, friends? We can`t we be friends?
[Verse Two]
I knew she was different, a very special gal
For the time being, hmm I shall
Respect her wishes, she wasn`t 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 don`t 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 Lee
She 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
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
I knew somethin was wrong because my mack is correct
Talkin for six months and didn`t hit it yet?
I thought I was slippin, or maybe in a slump
I felt like Eddie Murphy when he was Professor Klump
Naw it can`t be, she`s here every day
So I don`t know why she`d wanna treat me this way
I gotta investigate like Magnum P.I.
I just don`t 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 what`s 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, you`re gonna go nut
I said, Tell me I can take it I won`t pretend
I gotta go to jail for life, so..
[Chorus]
