Lyrics: Jurassic 5. Power In Numbers. Thin Line.
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
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
What women and men begin with, and then slip
My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of emotion
