Lyrics

[Verse 1: J. Cole] I see your homegirl tryna sway you How you figure I would play you Would you look at that? (Look at that) The same one that caught her nigga with some freak All in her sheets, left for a week Then what she do? Double back (Double back) Now I know we far from perfect But I feel like this is worth it Do you disagree with that? If not, then holla back (Holla back) Hey, and tell your girl you'll call her back (Call her back, hey) [Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & J. Cole] My best friend say She sick of me cryin' on the phone, tellin' how my man be doggin' me (Oh, yeah) My best friend say Don't tell her nothing 'bout me and you 'cause she ain't showing me no sympathy My best friend say If she was me, she'd've let you go long, long time ago My best friend say My best friend say I'll be there [Chorus: Aaliyah, Missy Elliot & J. Cole] I'll still be there for you In your time of need (Time of need) You can lean on me Come on (Come on) I'll be there for you (Ayy, I'll be there) I'll be there for you (Ayy) In your time of need (Oh yeah) You can lean on me Come on (Oh) I'll be there for you (Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah) [Verse 2: J. Cole] Now, now, now, now Know we be arguin', but ain't you ridin' with me? We breakin' up, we makin' up like Dwayne Wayne and Whitley You throw things, you broke things, use both hands and hit me And right when you call the law, I'll tell my boy to come get me Then you, then you start listenin' to friends, and it gets tricky They try to tell you leave, but this love is real sticky So you ignore the hickeys, the pics of chicks in they Vickys That they sent me, is that real love? You the only one that I will love, damn, damn [Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & J. Cole] My best friend say I can stay with her At her house, no doubt, any time I like My best friend say Don't let you in my life 'Cause you don't do for me and you don't act right My best friend say If she was me, she would let you go a long, long time ago (Is that right?) My best friend say, my best friend say (Hey, hey, hey) [Chorus: Aaliyah, Missy Elliot & J. Cole] I'll still be there for you (There for you) In your time of need (Time of need) You can lean on me (Oh) Come on (Come on) I'll be there for you (Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, whenever you) I'll be there for you (Whenever you) In your time of need (Time of need) You can lean on me (Oh, yeah) Come on (You know) I'll be there for you (There, there) [Outro: J. Cole] Girl, I can see it in your eyes How you feelin'? Let me know what's on your mind (Your mind, your mind, your mind) We've been together for a long, long time, hey Girl, I can see it in your eyes I know to you, it feel like I'm never around ('Round, 'round, 'round) But if you leave me, then who else gon' hold me down? (Down, hey, down, hey, down, hey)
