[Verse 1: J. Cole]
I see your homegirl tryna sway you
How you figure I would play you
Would you look at that? (Look at that)
The same one that caught her nigga with some freak
All in her sheets, left for a week
Then what she do? Double back (Double back)
Now I know we far from perfect
But I feel like this is worth it
Do you disagree with that?
If not, then holla back (Holla back)
Hey, and tell your girl you'll call her back (Call her back, hey)
[Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & J. Cole]
My best friend say
She sick of me cryin' on the phone, tellin' how my man be doggin' me (Oh, yeah)
My best friend say
Don't tell her nothing 'bout me and you 'cause she ain't showing me no sympathy
My best friend say
If she was me, she'd've let you go long, long time ago
My best friend say
My best friend say
I'll be there
[Chorus: Aaliyah, Missy Elliot & J. Cole]
I'll still be there for you
In your time of need (Time of need)
You can lean on me
Come on (Come on)
I'll be there for you
(Ayy, I'll be there)
I'll be there for you (Ayy)
In your time of need (Oh yeah)
You can lean on me
Come on (Oh)
I'll be there for you (Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Now, now, now, now
Know we be arguin', but ain't you ridin' with me?
We breakin' up, we makin' up like Dwayne Wayne and Whitley
You throw things, you broke things, use both hands and hit me
And right when you call the law, I'll tell my boy to come get me
Then you, then you start listenin' to friends, and it gets tricky
They try to tell you leave, but this love is real sticky
So you ignore the hickeys, the pics of chicks in they Vickys
That they sent me, is that real love? You the only one that I will love, damn, damn
[Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & J. Cole]
My best friend say
I can stay with her
At her house, no doubt, any time I like
My best friend say
Don't let you in my life
'Cause you don't do for me and you don't act right
My best friend say
If she was me, she would let you go a long, long time ago (Is that right?)
My best friend say, my best friend say (Hey, hey, hey)
[Chorus: Aaliyah, Missy Elliot & J. Cole]
I'll still be there for you (There for you)
In your time of need (Time of need)
You can lean on me (Oh)
Come on (Come on)
I'll be there for you
(Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, whenever you)
I'll be there for you (Whenever you)
In your time of need (Time of need)
You can lean on me (Oh, yeah)
Come on (You know)
I'll be there for you (There, there)
[Outro: J. Cole]
Girl, I can see it in your eyes
How you feelin'? Let me know what's on your mind (Your mind, your mind, your mind)
We've been together for a long, long time, hey
Girl, I can see it in your eyes
I know to you, it feel like I'm never around ('Round, 'round, 'round)
But if you leave me, then who else gon' hold me down? (Down, hey, down, hey, down, hey)
