    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
    But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
    Let me tell a story of my situation
    I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
    The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert
    She had long hair and a short miniskirt
    I just got on stage, drippin', pourin' with sweat
    I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met
    I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
    So I can ask you some questions to see if ya hundred proof"
    I asked her her name, she said: "Blah-blah-blah"
    She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
    I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
    I said: "How do you like the show?" She said: "I was very amused"
    I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
    But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
    Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?", she tried to pretend
    She said: "No, I don't, I only have a friend"
    Come on!
    I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing
    [Chorus]
    You, you got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
    You got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
    You got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    But you say he's just a friend
    [Verse 2]
    So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
    I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
    'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
    Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jack
    Forget about that, let's go into the story
    About a girl named "blah-blah-blah" that adored me
    So we started talkin', gettin' familiar
    Spendin' a lot of time, so we can build a
    Relationship or some understanding
    How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
    Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
    I had no idea I was in for a treat
    After this was established, everything was cool
    The tour was over and she went back to school
    I called every day to see how she was doin'
    Every time that I called her, it seemed somethin' was brewin'
    I called her room, a guy picked up, but then I called again
    I say: "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
    Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that!
    Jus' bust this
    [Chorus]
    You, you got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
    You got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
    You got what I need
    But you say he's just a friend
    But you say he's just a friend
    [Verse 3]
    So, I came to her college on a surprise visit
    To see my girl, that was so exquisite
    It was a school day, I knew she was there
    The first semester of the school year
    I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
    This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
    He told me where it was and I was on my way
    To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
    I arrived in front of the dormitory
    "Yo, could you tell me where is door three?"
    They showed me where it was for the moment
    I didn't know I was in for such an event
    So, I came to her room and opened the door
    Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
    A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in her mouth
    I was so in shock, my heart went down south
    So please, listen to the message that I send
    Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend...

      this comment reminds me of tupac's line ".... even though we came from the same places the money and the fame made us all change places" when hip hop started out this was what it was about music that was made by young people with the knowledge that their moms would listen to it. so it was fun and respectful immidietly the records companies realised it is making inroads into the black community they decided to change it and make it all violent and disrespectful. How you ask? by signing gangster rappers and popularising it and saying the pioneers are too soft just like the way they are doing with mumble rappers now.

NWA in 87 but no one really noticed. Eazy E in 88 and Straight outta Compton in 89. Around the same time Biz was doing his thing. And 89 still counts.

      Yeah, my kid learned that lesson the hard way. His ex and her trifling ways. That girl was sad and pathetic. She will surely do the same to the next poor fool. But karma will certainly take care of her and I will sit back and enjoy it. Sorry, not sorry. As they say, karma is a b*tch!

    This song will always remind me of summers in the city as a kid, playing out on the block with my friends…. With warm weather finally coming back, I gotta play my summer jam.
