Lyrics

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to get to know you too
And see what you are going through
I'm not just after sex
I want to bask in the delight that is
Your womanhood and call your name, Alice

I read the program by the light on my phone
But all I could think about
Was being with you alone, yeah-yeah
And all the players in the orchestra pit
Were playing perfectly fine
But I just didn't get it, yeah-yeah
Then you dropped your flowers on the ground
Someday I know that you will come around
No hate, I know it is what it is
Deep down, I know you're just a friend of a friend
(Enchanté, mademoiselle!)

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to be all over you
Sometimes it's hard to know what I should do
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi
You make me wish I was a Catholic (what?)
With only just a year or two to live

I read the program by the light on my phone
But all I could think about
Was being with you alone, yeah-yeah
And all the players in the orchestra pit
Were playing perfectly fine
But I just didn't get it, yeah-yeah
Then you dropped your flowers on the ground
Someday I know that you will come around
No hate, I know it is what it is
Deep down, I know you're just a friend of a friend
(See you around!)

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to get to know you too
And see what you are going through
I hear you're off to Berlin
What a shame, I've never been
I hope you find what you are looking for

And don't you worry that you're going too fast
'Cause I'll be meeting you there
And you'll be glad that you asked, yeah-yeah
And if some drunken bastard climbs up your stairs
Yeah, I know that it's
Every woman's worst nightmare, yeah-yeah
We'll play Cards Against Humanity
I never let down my family
This bike is decked out with disco lights
I'll ride twenty miles through the night

I'm just a friend of a friend
You gave a kiss and then you slipped away
Got a meeting and you can't be late
I'm left with the chocolate peanut butter pretzels
Bought from Trader Joe's
Girl, we're talking next-level

So don't you worry that you're going too fast
'Cause I'll be meeting you there
And you'll be glad that you asked, yeah-yeah
And if some drunken bastard climbs up your stairs
Yeah, I know that it's
Every woman's worst nightmare, yeah-yeah
We'll play Cards Against Humanity
I never let down my family
This bike is decked out with disco lights
I'll ride twenty miles through the night

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to get to know you too
And see what you are going through
I'm not just after sex
I want to bask in the delight that is
Your womanhood and call your name, Alice

I read the program by the light on my phone
But all I could think about
Was being with you alone, yeah-yeah
And all the players in the orchestra pit
Were playing perfectly fine
But I just didn't get it, yeah-yeah
Then you dropped my flowers on the ground
Someday I know that you will come around
No hate, I know it is what it is
Deep down, I know you're just a friend of a friend

I'm just a friend of a friend
And I'd like to be all over you
Sometimes it's hard to know what I should do
Your friend ran off with your purse
I chase him down and then I beat his ass
And then he told me my account was hacked

I read the program by the light on my phone
But all I could think about
Was being with you alone, yeah-yeah
And all the players in the orchestra pit
Were playing perfectly fine
But I just didn't get it, yeah-yeah
Then you dropped my flowers on the ground
Someday I know that you will come around
No hate, I know it is what it is
Deep down, I know you're just a friend of a friend
(See you around!)
