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...

Rest In Peace legend ❤️

Happy Heavenly Birthday Biz Markie!(Born April 8, 1964)😃🙏🎂🕊
-
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.💚
-
This song: exists People who can’t sing: it’s my time to shine!
-
You can tell how much someone is hurting by how passionately they sing this chorus
-
This song came out 34 years ago today. RIP Biz Markie, and thank you for this absolute bop
-
Anybody here in 2024?
-
During the recording of this song, Biz had people lined up to come and sing the chorus, but they didn't show. So he did that shit himself.
-
Rest in Heaven bro 🙏
-
44 years old in a couple of weeks. I've dealt with mental illness for most of my life and life is a bit overwhelming for a number of reasons at the moment. But Biz always makes me smile.
-
I wish songs still told stories like this!!
-
0% drugs 0% sex 0% dirty language 100% friend
-
imagine your friend is about to tell you a story and suddenly you hear the piano and shit and you're like "ah fuck im in a music video"
-
Dang, this song brings it back. Wish he was here still.
-
Honestly I think him doing the chorus worked out so much better than an actual group cause it made it feel all the more personal along with his voice just being much more fitting for the story
-
If you've seen MIB, you know this legend isn't gone, he just went home.
-
He wasn’t Just a Friend... He was an icon. RIP Biz
-
1000 years from now people are still going to be laughing and singing along to this gem.
-
Rest in piece biz markie 🕊️🙏🙏
