Friends
Navigating Intimacy: Can We Stay Friends?
Lyrics
But baby can we still be friends
Asking if they can maintain a friendship despite circumstances
If I take a dip and make you swim
Wanting to engage intimately and take the other person along
Checking on you like an ATM
Keeping a close watch on the person, akin to an ATM's monitoring
Cashing out oh again and again
Repeatedly benefiting or profiting from the relationship
Baby can we still be friends
Reiterating the desire for friendship despite other complexities
Friends
Reinforcing the idea of just being friends
Just Friends
-Friends
-Oh Friends
-I'm tryna see what you really bout
Seeking to understand the person's true character
She cause you stress I'm tryna work it out
Willingness to resolve issues caused by someone else
I'll pull up on you when you need me it ain't too late
Ready to offer support and assistance, emphasizing it's not too late
Every time you come around me you get a full plate
Being generous and providing plenty whenever they're around
Now don't you run from me baby
Asking the person not to avoid or distance themselves
I've seen the look in your eyes as of lately
Noticing changes in the person's demeanor or feelings
Yeah you want a freak, I'm tryna be
Recognizing the person's desire for something unconventional or wild
Got that water spill it on me, I'm tryna drink
Referencing physical intimacy metaphorically, wanting to be consumed by their essence
But baby can we still be friends
Repetition of the desire for friendship amid the complexities
If I take a dip and make you swim
-Checking on you like an ATM
-Cashing out oh again and again
-Baby can we still be friends
-Friends
-Just Friends
-Friends
-Oh Friends
-Here we are 3rd round
Expressing interest in intimacy, showcasing care, and pleasure, emphasizing fulfillment
It look like it's going down
-Music background blasting
-Like we need more sound
-Turn it over
-Taking a glimpse of your body
-All the blemishes babe
-I'm tryna show you that practice makes perfect
-Mmm that's what a winner would say
-And your friends check your location
-Tell em you out this way
-Make a movie with me
-Winning you an Emmy
-On the big screen press play
-Notice I'm making you shake from me hitting on all the spots that she didn't
-Let them know that you safe and sound but won't leave until you're finished
-Take a dip
Repeatedly expressing the desire for intimate engagement
Take a dip
-Take a dip
-Tryna have your way with this
-This ain't no relationship
Clarifying that this isn't a committed romantic relationship
Lay with this
Describing physical interaction and its intensity
Play with this
-Crazy grip
-I ain't hear you but the neighbors did
Noticing loud reactions from the interaction
Imma try out a few different ways to bend
Willingness to explore various ways of intimacy but still maintain friendship
Every now and then and still be friends
-I take a dip and make you swim
Reiteration of the desire for intimacy while maintaining a friendship
Checking on you like an ATM
-Cashing out oh again and again
-Baby can we still be friends
-Friends
-Just Friends
-Friends
-Oh Friends
