Songtexte: J. Valentine. Best Friend.

Ohh hoo ooooh ho uhh hooo ho

Remember when I complained about her (you was there) and I messed around on her and her and her (you were there). remember all the times that I got caught (you were there) and you had my back even though it was my fault.

[Chorus:]
I never thought about it (back then), cause me and you girl we like (best friends). turns out that I was sleeping (yeah), girl I must have been tweeking (yeah); now what's a young player to do. I shoulda been with you (running all through them other breezes) don't wanna do it no more. I shoulda been with you oh ho (looking right past you was so easy) don't know what I was looking for (I shoulda been giving you) all the love that I was giving them (taking you) all the spots that I was taking them. now I kick myself, you're with someone else, (damn) girl (I shoulda been, shoulda been with you).

Could it be that we was just too damn cool (to take it there) or the fact that I knew I was still a fool (I didn't care). in and out with these whippers all in these streets (your always there) knowing they ain't got a thang on you and me (ooo girl)

[Chorus:]
I never thought about it (back then) nooo, cause me and you girl we like ohh (best friends). turns out that I was sleeping (yeah), girl I must have been tweeking (yeah); now what's a young player to do ooh hoo. I shoulda been with you yeah (running all through them other breezes) I just don't wanna a?? do it no more oh. (I shoulda been with you (looking right past you) was so easy) yeah don't know what I was looking for and I don't know what I'm looking for (I shoulda been (giving you) giving you all the love that I was yeah yeah giving them (taking you) taking you ooo ooo all the spots that I was taking them. now I kick myself yes, you're with someone else, oh damn (girl) girl (I shoulda been, shoulda been with you).

(I was crazy not) to recognize that I (had my baby right) before my eyes. (shoulda have crossed that line bout' thousands times), (now it's too late) I missed what should be mine

[talking: J. Valentine]
Damn I feel selfish for this
(I shouldn't be feeling the way I'm feeling)

[talking: J. Valentine]
Yeah, you know I'm I'm happy for you baby... you know what really I'm not! (I don't know what to do with these feelings) oooooh hoooo oh

[Chorus:]
I shoulda been with you (running all through them other breezes) them breezes don't wanna do it no more (I shoulda been with you) cause I need you (looking right past you) ohh was so easy) baby don't know what I was looking for and I didn't know hooo (I shoulda been giving you) all the loving all the love that I was giving them all the kissing (taking you) I shoulda been giving you whatcha needed it. now I kick myself ohhh hooo, you're with someone else, ohhh hooo (damn girl) (I shoulda been shoulda been) with you) right there with you (shoulda been, shoulda been). right there with you (shoulda been with you) right there with you (shoulda been, shoulda been). right there with you (shoulda been with you) right there with you
