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]
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

[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
