[Verse 1]
I was lookin' for love when I lost it
Had a laundry list of others on the side
I'm hopin' I will never act this way, like ever again
But I know it don't bother them
They wanna see me through my self destruction
I tell them, "Oh I'm not the girlfriend type"
Cause I can't promise I will never
Act that way, like ever again
Hurtin' so many gentlemen
[Chorus]
So I just wanna be your homie
Call you up when I get lonely
At least until you get to know me
I just wanna be your homie
[Verse 2]
Only things that I have got to offer
Are selfishness and wounded pride
I'm pretty sure I'll never be myself, like ever again
There ain't no way to fix this mess
[Chorus]
So I just wanna be your homie
Call you up when I get lonely
At least until you get to know me
I just wanna be your homie
[Bridge]
Tell me what's the point of being anything more
Or anything less
Right now you're exactly who I need you to be
So just get undressed
[Chorus]
I just wanna be your homie
Call you up when I get lonely
At least until you get to know me
I just wanna be your homie

It’s about a special friend that you like to make out with… and that’s pretty much it. When people read those lyrics, they know what I’m saying. So why not just say it? Fans deserve honesty.
