Lovers and Friends

[Intro: Usher & Lil Jon]

Usher, Usher

Lil Jon, Ludacris

Yeah, man

Once again, it's on

It's on

You know we had to do it again, right?

We had to do it again, boy (Uh-huh, uh, yeah)

I want you to sing to these ladies, man

Oh, oh, oh (I guess I'm up first, let me at 'em)

Oh, oh, oh (Check it, let's get it)

[Verse 1: Usher]

Baby, how you doing? Hope that you're fine

Wanna know what you got in mind tonight

Got me fiendin' like Jodeci, girl, I can't leave you alone (Got me fiending)

Take a shot of this here Patrón and it's gon' be on

VIP done got way too crowded, I'm about to end up calling it a night

You should holler at your girl, tell her you're shaking the scene

Pull off, beep, beep, shotgun in the GT with me

She said, "Oh, I'm ready to ride"

I was like, "Yeah, 'cause once you get inside, you can't change your mind

Don't mean to sound impatient, but you gotta promise, baby"

Oh

[Chorus: Usher & Ludacris]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Oh, I gotta know baby, oh, yeah)

Tell me again (Make sure you're right, oh, before we begin)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Oh, oh, it's a good look baby)

It's a really good look, baby, look here

[Verse 2: Ludacris]

Sometime wanna be your lover, sometime wanna be your friend

Sometime wanna hug you, hold hands, slow dance while the record spins

Opened up your heart 'cause you said I made you feel so comfortable

Used to play back then, now you all grown up like Rudy Huxtable

I could be your Bud, you could beat me up

Play fight in the dark, then we both make up

I'd do anything just to feel your butt

Why you got me so messed up?

I don't know, but you gotta stop tripping

Be a good girl, now turn around and get these whippings

You know you like it like that

You don't have to fight back

Here's a pillow, bite that

And I'll be setting separate plays

So on all these separate days

Your legs can go they separate ways

[Chorus: Usher]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Oh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again (Tell me over and over and over again)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Make sure you're right before you choose)

[Verse 3: Lil' Jon]

I've been knowing you for a long time (Shorty)

But fucking never crossed my mind (Shorty)

But tonight, I seen something in you (Shorty)

That made me wanna get with you (Shorty)

You ain't been nothing but a friend to me (Shorty)

And a nigga never, ever dreamed we'd be (Shorty)

Up in here kissing, hugging, squeezing, touching (Shorty)

Up in the bathtub rub-a-dubbing (Shorty)

Are you sure you wanna go this route? (Shorty)

Let a nigga know before I pull it out (Shorty)

I would never, ever cross the line (Shorty)

Shorty, let me hear you tell me one more time

One more time

[Chorus: Usher]

Tell me again (Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Oh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again (Make sure you're right, oh, before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends (Tell me over and over and over again)

[Outro: Usher, Ludacris & Lil Jon]

Ah, ah-hooh

Ah, ah-hooh

Ah, ah-hooh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Please tell your lovers and friends

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again (Hey)

Uh, please tell your lovers and friends

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again (Hey)

That's right, yeah, please tell your lovers and friends

That Usher, Jon, and Luda had to do it again (Hey)
