Let Me Be the One (Q-Tip's Ummah Remix)

Talking about a real friend Set your mind at ease, baby Ain’t nothing wrong with that [Verse 1] I guess we both have seen some brighter days Somehow the love we shared has slipped away Still I wanna be the one who keeps you safe and warm Let me be the one Although things with me and you didn't quite work out For you there’s this special place deep in my heart Though I wanna extend my unconditional love Let me be the one Yeah, baby [Chorus] If you need a friend Let me be the one Someone that you call Wanna be the one The one through it all You don't have to fall Just let me be the one Let me be the one [Verse 2] Promises made they've all worn paper thin Still, honey, I'm not afraid to call you friend Take a look and I know you'll see the possibilities Let me be the one Oh To see you smile, there's nothing I won't do ‘Cause honey I only want what's best for you You are a shining star, just stay the way you are Let me be the one [Chorus] If you need a friend Let me be the one Someone that you call I wanna be the one The one through it all You don't have to fall Just let me be the one Let me be the one If you need a friend… [Rap: Q-Tip] If I see your head hanging down with your pretty brown eyes crying You know I’ll be the one Shorty, I’mma keep your spirits wild high at the lowest points in your life You brighter than the sun Promise you I’m all ears, it seems that you’se a friend in need But extremity of our friendships are so real, I’ll heed To every word that you say, ‘cause true friends don’t play Here’s my number, sweetie, call me any day I’m sure that we can make a bad thing get better Just by talking about it, express our thoughts together No matter what the situation, guess I can’t say no more Got your tickets? Well, I’ll see you at the door [Chorus] If you need a friend Let me be the one Someone that you call Let me be the one The one through it all You don't have to fall Just let me be the one Let me be the one [Outro: Q-Tip + (Mint Condition) + Stokley] That’s what it’s all about What’s it’s all about That’s what it’s all about Let me be… Just being a friend That’s what it’s all about (Just let me be the one) That’s what it’s all about Let me be… Just being your friend, yeah (Just let me be the one) Talking about that old soul groove Let me be…yeah (Just let me be the one)
