C
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
      Dm
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
                                     G
I was talking to this girl from the U.S. nation


[Verse 1]

    C
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
    Dm
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage dripping, pouring with sweat
                                    G
I was walking through the crowd and guess who I met
  C
I whispered in her ear, come to the picture booth
         Dm
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
                          G
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
  C
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
        Dm
I said, how do you like the show?
She said, I was very amused
I started throwing bass, she started throwing back mid-range
                                     G
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
C
Then when I asked, do ya have a man, she tried to pretend
    Dm
She said, no I don't, I only have a friend
Come on, I'm not even goin' for it,
        G
This is what I'm goin sing


[Chorus]

C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                        G
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                        G
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                         G
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby


[Verse 2]

     C
So I took blah-blahs word for it at this time
           Dm
I thought just havin a friend couldn't be no crime
cause I have friends and that's a fact
                        G
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jack
    C
Forget about that, let's go into the story
 Dm
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talking, gettin' familiar
                          G
Spending a lot of time so we can build a
   C
Relationship or some understanding
    Dm
How it's gonna be in the future we was planning
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
                     G
I had no idea I was in for a treat
       C
After this was established, everything was cool
    Dm
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
                               G
Everytime that I called her it seemed something was brewin'
  C
I called her on my dime, picked up, and then I called again
        Dm
I said, yo, who was that? oh, he's just a friend
Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that
G
  Just bust this


[Chorus]

C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                        G
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                        G
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
C                   Dm
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
                         G
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby

[Verse 2]

     C
So I came to her college on a surprise visit
   Dm
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
                   G
The first semester of the school year
  C
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
     Dm
This guy made me fill out a visitors form
He told me where it was and I was on my way
                            G
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
      C
I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Dm
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
                            G
I didn't know I was in for such an event
   C
So I came to her room and opened the door
Dm
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin my girl in the mouth,
                           G
I was so in shock my heart went down south
   C
So please listen to the message that I send
           Dm
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
G
