Lovers Before Friends (BIG nOSE)

La la la la la, oh baby, oh baby, do you remember?
(I remember)
La la la, oh baby
(I hope you still remember me)
We started off as lovers before we became friends,
Late-night rendezvous, and I wished the nights would never end.
But then came the arguments and fights,
And with all my might, I tried to keep you by my side.
But we moved too fast, and it's really sad,
We should have been friends before we became lovers.
(Before we became lovers)
I still remember when I met you at my cousin's house,
(You were so fine)
And I never thought I had a chance with you.
Red cups and jungle juice sparked my interest,
(Me so high)
My kinfolks tried to hook us up,
But my game was limited back then.
Walked up to you, and you laughed,
And I had to take that one on the chin.
Love is crazy, (so crazy)
And deep down, I knew we would be nothing more than friends.
Now it's back to my bedroom, entry number 27 in my diary.
But I didn’t give up 'cause I had intimate feelings for you,
(For you) for us.
We started off as lovers before we became friends,
Late-night rendezvous, and I wished the nights would never end.
But then came the arguments and fights,
And with all my might, I tried to keep you by my side.
But we moved too fast, and it's really sad,
We should have been friends before we became lovers.
(Before we became lovers)
And the saying is true, misery loves company.
You find out who your true friends are when they think you’re doing better than them.
This extends to ex-lovers, friends, and material things.
There’s always a Judas in the crew, always a hater on you,
Telling your girl everything you do.
I never crossed the line when I was in the streets,
I was always about my paper.
So many haters caught the vapors, jealous of my paper.
And eventually, the gossip and false accusations made it home,
And now she’s gone.
Maybe she never really loved me,
But that's nonsense I tell myself.
Maybe we started off too strong,
Maybe we should have been friends first,
Before the nightly love sessions.
Love can be a blessing and a curse,
And right now, it really hurts
'Cause all I want now is my friend back.
(My friend back)
We started off as lovers before we became friends,
Late-night rendezvous, and I wished the nights would never end.
But then came the arguments and fights,
And with all my might, I tried to keep you by my side.
But we moved too fast, and it’s really sad,
We should have been friends before we became lovers.
