Friends With Benefits

by Upper West

on West Side Stories (2012)

(Upper West)
Sometimes I can be your lover
But I really like you better as a friend
And I think you will discover
That we cannot be together in the end
See I kinda like you, it's just
I don't really really wanna settle down
And we're kinda different you know, I'm from the city and you're from a little town
You could be my friend with a benefit
We can just have fun for the hell of it
Unintelligent for you to go and tell a friend that me and you are working and we're talking like we're settlin
Don't think I'm in love with you
And, I'll be gone in a month or two
So, you should go and find another dude that wants something more I just tell the truth
Like, I enjoy your company, but
See I'm really not one to be, the
Type to say I'm okay today and stay if I really really wanna leave, so
I prefer this non-commital
We could just be friends with a little
Thing on the side lemme know when you decide if you wanna try and FWB alright?

(Hook)
I, really enjoyed what we did last night
Got to admit that it felt so right
Do I regret that we crossed that line?
No, and I am just wondering
Why, do we have to be something more
Maybe you misread my signs
Don't know what you're looking for, but Friends with Benefits to me sounds fine

(Skizzy Mars)
Oooh we at the club baby, who you goin home with?
Me, the poet, don't ask who I'm on the phone with
No strings attached girl you're my friends with benefits
So you're not allowed to care bout other girls I'm messaging
I'm a realist and realistically I'm not seeing this, being more than a night time fling
I mean, we can go downtown and rage, nightout
But when you try and make it more baby that's a psych out
Now that I'm known I'm prone to promiscuity
Doin my thing, fuck Cassie, it's not just simply you and me
So realize that if you get left behind
And you catch some feelins imma pause and you best rewind

(Hook)

(Upper West)
I guess I'm sorry that we never really hit it off
And when we party I'm not actin like we've been involved
So you could blame it on me, and say I caused it all
But don't go actin crazy, when you see I get a call
From a different number, don't wonder, like who's he talking to?
And if you think I'm actin distant then it's probly true
Don't ask me what's the issue then get pissed it's probably you
You think I'm sending different signals but I hardly do
And you're insistent with persistence see I'll give you that
And I know if I give you love you'll surely give it back
But when we're separate you get nervous like a heart attack
I gotta end this 'for you really go and get attached

(Hook)
