Friends Lyrics

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh

What's up with all the "girl hate girl" shit? Uh, uh
It's like we never learn no lessons, uh, uh
What's up with all the beef and the bad vibes? Uh, uh
What's up with all the teeth in your fake smile? Uh, uh

And why can't (why can't)
We just (we just)
Let it go? Just let it go now
I guess (I guess) we won't ever know

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends
We could've been, well maybe not, well maybe not best friends
But I would have fucked with you
And you know you would have too
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool
We could've been, we could've been, well, maybe not that cool
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
Oh well, oh well, uh

Why is it if I'm not a boy I'm an enemy? Uh, uh
This damn mentality is killin' me, uh, uh, uh
And don't get me wrong we can all be that
Forgive me for tryna believe that

And why can't (why can't)
We just (we just)
Let it go? Just let it go
I guess (I guess) we won't ever know

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends
We could've been, well maybe not, well maybe not best friends
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool
We could've been, we could've been, well, maybe not that cool
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
(Oh well, oh well)

Can we be chill for a second?
'Cause we too young to be stressin', yeah
I think we both learned our lesson
We could have been, we could have been, could've been

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends
We could've been, well maybe not, well maybe not best friends
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool
We could've been, we could've been, well maybe not that cool
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
(Oh well, oh well)

We could've been, we could've been friends
(Oh well, oh well)
But I would've fucked with you
And you know you would've too
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
