## Lyrics
[verse]
So I met this girl down at the fair
She had a smile and curly hair
I said hey now, can I get your name
She said sure thing, we played a little game
Took her out for burgers and a shake
Thought this thing was real, no mistake

[verse]
Went to visit her one afternoon
Knocked the door, heard a funny tune
Some dude answered wearing my cologne
Sitting comfortable, playing on the phone
She came running, said don't be mad
That's my study partner, that's all we had

[chorus]
Said he's just a friend, just a friend
How you gonna play me like that, my friend
Just a friend, ha, just a friend
That's what they always say in the end
Just a friend, just a friend
I heard that story since I don't know when

[verse]
Now I'm cautious every time I meet
Somebody sweet out on the street
'Cause a friend today's a fling tomorrow
Learned that lesson wrapped in sorrow
Still I laugh about it now
Shake my head and take a bow

[chorus]
Said he's just a friend, just a friend
How you gonna play me like that, my friend
Just a friend, ha, just a friend
That's what they always say in the end
Just a friend, just a friend
I heard that story since I don't know when

[bridge]
Ladies, fellas, hear me out
That's the oldest trick about
If they gotta explain it twice
Baby that ain't never nice

[chorus]
Said he's just a friend, just a friend
How you gonna play me like that, my friend
Just a friend, ha, just a friend
That's what they always say in the end
Just a friend, just a friend
I heard that story since I don't know when
