“Just a Friend” is the third song from Jamie Grace’s sophomore album Ready To Fly. On this track, she begins by pouring out her feelings for a boy she has seen around school. She is forced to face the harsh reality that he doesn’t have feelings for her. In desperation, then, she turns to Manwell Rey...
[Verse 1: Jamie Grace]
I saw you in the hallway
With all of your friends
And everything around me moved in
Slow motion
The girls think I'm crazy
I kinda agree
But it's hard to be cool whenever you
Look at me
And I can be immature when I'm lying on the floor
Photoshopping us together like I'm all yours
But you just learned my name, and I think that's kinda wack
Have you seen my sweet shoes and my new backpack yet?
Somebody tell me why this hurts so bad
Why can't I find someone like my dad? (I love you dad)
[Chorus: Jamie Grace]
Why can't you just see what I see
When you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just friend?
I think I could make you happy
But you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just a friend, so I'll be
That, that, that, oh I'll be
That, that, that, I guess that's
That, that, that, but I don't wanna
Be just that
[Verse 2: Jamie Grace]
You probably think I'm too young
To feel this way
To you I'm a crush that just won't
Go away
So even if you move on
And have a happy life
I promise I will pray for you, cause
I'll be doing fine
See I can try to be mature like nothing's really wrong
But you probably know I'm faking by the time you hear this song
And I don't mind saying how I feel
As long as I stay true and keep it real
Somebody tell me why love takes so long
I think I'll just watch Reba with my mom (yeah)
[Chorus: Jamie Grace and Manwell]
Why can't you just see what I see
When you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just friend
I think I could make you happy
But you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just a friend, so I'll be
That, that, that, oh I'll be
That, that, that, I guess that's
That (I dunno baby sis), but I don't wanna
Be (But I'mma tell you like this)
[Bridge 1: Manwell and Jamie Grace]
You ain't gotta rush love, girl, slow down (okay)
When you meet him you gon' know, wanna know how? (how?)
He's gonna treat you right
Make you the queen of life
If he don't then I'm a take 'em out (What?)
Psyche! (Hehehe)
All kidding aside God has the perfect
One that was made for you, designed to worship (I know)
God and He sees your beauty and true purpose
So baby sis, trust the process, it's worth it
[Bridge 2: Jamie Grace and Manwell]
So Father, I will place this in your hands (That's right)
You know me and all my crazy plans
Humbly I surrender this to You (All to you Lord)
So I'll keep dreaming
You'll keep coming through (You keep coming through)
[Chorus: Jamie Grace and Manwell]
I know You see what I don't see (You see what I don't see)
So I'll be just a friend
I'll be just a friend
I know that I will be happy
Even if I'm just a friend
I'll be just a friend, so yeah, that's
That, that, that, oh that's
That, that, that, I'll be
That, that, that, I'm telling you
I'll be just
That's that
Oh that's that
Oh I'll be that (It's going to be alright Jamie)
I'm telling you I'll be, I'm telling you I'll be just
That

I wrote this with Manwell from Group 1 Crew. A lot of people have asked who we wrote it about but I honestly didn’t have someone in mind. I’ve always been very vocal about all of my love songs being about my relationship with God and though coming from a different angle, this song is no different. T...
