Thin Line (feat. Nelly Furtado)

Yo, this is a lesson in friendship, the depths of a kinship What women and men begin with, and then slip My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of emotion A fraction, seduction, attraction, eruption of passion Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved But love to cross the line but that's why we built these walls We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line Opposites attract when the female and male come in contact Sticky situation in fact, tryin' not to let the feelin's catch But there's a thin line between both of y'all so you respect that And entertain the idea, but get brought back to reality And could you really live with that? decision, based on intuition You love and keep your distance, hug and kiss in friendship An ongoin' kinship, we was people to begin with Disrespect was not intended but your feelin's sparked the sentence Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line Man, too bad that we became friends first And I'm not an expert on how relationships should work But from the minute it as known It changed the whole tone on how we spoke on the phone Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasn't enough And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up Over you, all my buddies would swoon But I felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room, damn But to me girl, you're still off limits No matter all the times that I hit it (yo, whatchu doin' after this?) Infatuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended So I wouldn't lose the friendship Maybe, I should spill all my guts Or write a letter, then tear it up Or do a song, just to say, "What's up? I want just a touch" I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line I can't do this anymore, see my heart just spills out When you walk in the door, friendship turns into lust And this only tip that I can't comprehend even if I knew it Can't do justice to these things that I'm feelin' You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealin' Hell, if she knew, she would never leave us alone in the room Yo, this was a lesson in friendship, I stress in this sentence Should women and men be friends first and then slip? My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion Opposites attract and best friends make a perfect match If you only knew that once you cross, ain't no turnin' back The minute you let him in it and he hit that, that's that We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless Jeopardizin' kinship, respect is intended, resolve is my intent While we got it in, I'm tryin' to salvage a friendship We've been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line We've been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
