I Just Wanna Be Your Friend It’s strange but what they say is true You‘re bored of meeting someone new All guys love only your sweet face There is no one who really cares About your intellectual graceAnd now you’re angry with me too You think I feel too much for you You say I’m just another guy Who sees you as a thing to try You think my kindness is a lieHey, hey lady I just wanna be a friend No romancing and no love notes written in the sand You don’t have to worry — I won’t reach to hold your hand Hey I didn’t come to bother don’t you understand You can trust my word don’t worry why should I pretend Hey, hey baby I just wanna be your friend (Ooh-oh) So you push back — just tell me why Why do you always pass me by? All I ever wanted was to see you smile Maybe talk and laugh for just a little while But you wrote me off as just THAT kind of guy Oh, why? Hey, hey lady I just wanna be a friend No romancing and no love notes written in the sand You don’t have to worry — I won’t reach to hold your hand Hey I didn’t come to bother don’t you understand You can trust my word don’t worry why should I pretend Hey, hey baby I just wanna be your friend You say you’re sick of games and me What can I do to make you see All I offered was acquaintance, nothing more Truth be told, you’re not what I was looking for And besides, I know I’d never win the score (Woah-oh) Hey, hey lady I just wanna be a friend No romancing and no love notes written in the sand You don’t have to worry — I won’t reach to hold your hand Hey I didn’t come to bother don’t you understand You can trust my word don’t worry why should I pretend Hey, hey baby I just wanna be your friend Come on whippersnapper I just wanna be a friend No sweet nothings, no fake poems drawn into the sand don’t expect me tryin‘ to kiss you or to hold your hand (Ooh-woah) Hey I never meant to bother don’t you understand You can take my word I tell you why should I pretend Hey, hey baby I just wanna be a friend Ein Song geschrieben im März 1997, der auf dem Album Take A Listen vom Eric Fischer Project erschienen ist.
