Biz Markie - Just a Friend Lyrics




You, you got what I need
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
Oh baby you...
+
So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
+
I said 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
+
So we started talking to her, 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 doing
+
Everytime that I called her it seemed somethin' was brewin'
+
I called her room, a guy picked up, and then I called again
+
I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
+
Don't gimme that man, yo don't even gimme that
+
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
+
You got what I need
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
Oh baby you
+
You got what I need
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
But you say he's just a friend
+
So I came to her college on a surprise visit
+
To see my girl that was so exquisite
+
It was a school day, so 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 as 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 the 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
+

Biz Markie - Just a Friend Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Just a Friend" is a song written, produced and performed by American hip hop artist Biz Markie. It was released in September 1989 as the lead single from his album The Biz Never Sleeps. It is Markie's most successful single, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.

The song interpolates the 1968 song "(You) Got What I Need" recorded by Freddie Scott, whose basic chord and melody provided the base for the song's chorus.

Markie's lyrics describe romantic frustration after pursuing a woman who is actually romantically involved with another man who she falsely claims is "just a friend."

Due to the widespread popularity of the song along with its acclaim and its influence on pop culture (and Markie's failure to have another charting Hot 100 song), Biz was classified by VH1 as a one-hit wonder, and "Just a Friend" was ranked 81st on VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders in 2000, and later as number 100 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop in 2008.

Karma, a staff record producer for Cold Chillin' Records, told Vibe magazine in 2005 that he produced the single, but never received credit. The single was certified platinum on April 12, 1990. In 2021, it was ranked at No. 480 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time".
