Hey, hey, baby, you've been on my mind, I knew you for a long time
But I've been thinkin, baby, that you should know (oh, oh, yeah, eh, uh)
Hey, hey, baby, can we compromise? I really want you to be mine
I've got a million places that we could go (o, oh, yeah, uh)

I wanna be your everything, I want to be the one you need
So tell me where ya been all my life, gonna make you mine tonight

Hey, baby, you, you, got what I need
But you say you're just a friend
Yeah, you say you're just a friend

Hey, hey, baby, we've been on the phone
Spendin time together alone
But every time we talk, the words don't come out right
Oh, oh, yeah, eh, uh

Hey, hey, baby, when I look in your eyes
I can tell that you're holdin somethin inside
I've been thinkin bout yo-ou-ou
I've been thinkin bout me-e-e

I wanna be your everything, I want to be the one you need
So tell me where ya been all my life, gonna make you mine tonight

Hey, baby, you, you, got what I need
But you say you're just a friend
Yeah, you say you're just a friend

In Carol City, spent most of my nights
Trying to make the world whistle
But it's a hell of a life
How to make them all get low
Bring it back right around
Let the good times roll
Feeling good right now
But I remember Biz Markie
1989 or maybe 90
Came to me like a song I wrote
Cutting class, chasing you
'Cause you're all I want
Like you, you, you, got what I need
And if not, I'll just pretend
Until I can get your friend, I'm playing, though
But, baby, there's a little truth sprinkle in 'em
Peeking at your eyes, and I can see the twinkle in 'em
Thought we'd be together until I seen the wrinkle in them
But I guess no

Hey, baby, you, you, got what I need
But you say you're just a friend
Yeah, you say you're just a friend
