Since back in the day
We've been close friends
You would call on me telling me your problems
I'd been feeling things, things I never said
When you said that you were in love
Wish it was me instead
I'd treat you like an angel
He treats you like a fool
When you were hurting baby, I was broken too
And I can't go on this way
I need you baby[Chorus]
Tired of being the shoulder you lean on
Wanna be the one you hold on to
More than just a friend
Let me be your everything
Wish I knew the way to make you
See that I've fallen in love with you
Can't you see I love you babyIf I sit you down, tell you what I'm going through
Will you leave him?
Will it be too much for you?
Don't wanna be an addition
To your situation
I never wanna be a complication
But if I see you cry
I'm stepping in
I can't keep watching you get your heart broken
(I can't go on this way)[Chorus]I ain't never said that I loved you
More than the friend that put nothin' above you
And I could be more than the shoulder you lean on
I could be your king little lady, you'd be gettin' your queen on
It hurt me everytime I seen him hurt you
Thinkin' 'bout these feelings got me runnin' in circles
(I can't go on this way)
I love your mind, body and soul, and even your perfume[Chorus: x 2]Whenever you're down, a mess (trouble)
I will be there baby
I will lift you up when (trouble)
When there's trouble girl
Look over your shoulders honey
When there's (trouble)
You can count on me
(Can't you see I love you baby)
