Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
Let me tell a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got on stage, drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if ya hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said: "Blah-blah-blah"
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said: "How do you like the show?" She said: "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?", she tried to pretend
She said: "No, I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on!
I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing
[Chorus]
You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
[Verse 2]
So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jack
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named "blah-blah-blah" that adored me
So we started talkin', gettin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time, so we can build a
Relationship or some understanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
Every time that I called her, it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her room, a guy picked up, but then I called again
I say: "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that!
Jus' bust this
[Chorus]
You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
[Verse 3]
So, I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl, that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I was on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrived in front of the dormitory
"Yo, could you tell me where is door three?"
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So, I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in her mouth
I was so in shock, my heart went down south
So please, listen to the message that I send
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend...

You can tell how much someone is hurting by how passionately they sing this chorus
Facts
Damn I’m hurt then
Why is this so accurate
Same and facts
Wait what
This song: *exists*
People who can’t sing: it’s my time to shine!
I feel like this was aimed at me lmao
I can sing but so right lol
That's the beauty of this song and it can bring an entire drunk crowd together in seconds
and he didn't have auto tune back then...lol. A off key real vocal is better than a on key fake vocal of today! Of coarse this song was meant to be funny and not to say he was the next Luther Vandross. Enjoy the day and stay safe.

I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.💚
I used to listen to this when I was 5 and now I’m 7. This will forever be a classic❤

First rapper to sing and rap at same time
my childhood legend 😔
@@larrybrown7200 The truth is he couldn't sing as evidenced in this song but he did create a well-known top 40 song so hats off for him achieving his dream. 57 is way too short a life.
I was in college when this song hit the charts and it's crazy how many white kids loved the tune
44 years old in a couple of weeks. I've dealt with mental illness for most of my life and life is a bit overwhelming for a number of reasons at the moment. But Biz always makes me smile.
Poor baby
Honestly I think him doing the chorus worked out so much better than an actual group cause it made it feel all the more personal along with his voice just being much more fitting for the story
During the recording of this song, Biz had people lined up to come and sing the chorus, but they didn't show. So he did that shit himself.
Turned out for the best
Wow good information
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facttech 😂😂😂
Guess they weren't his.. friends....
Proof that vocal skills are not needed to make a great song
He has a topiC & it's ConsCious.
Ice jj fish took your advice.
Yeah it's funny, he's not a particularly good singer, nor are the lyrics particularly clever (half the rhymes barely work), but this song still slaps.
That's hip hop Tom Waits.
OHHHHH BAAAAABYYY
Never forget the classics
I wish songs still told stories like this!!
If you've seen MIB, you know this legend isn't gone, he just went home.

You're listening to it in 2024?
Of course I am. No time like the present. Is there a proper time to listen to any particular music. I listen to clever. Lil Peep. Whatever hits the spot. Does it really matter the song, time, mood, whatever strikes u. Isn't that what it's all about. How about bulletboys next

This song was ridiculously ahead of it's time. The 80's had no idea how this song will last in pop culture.

Here bc of The Sitter.
Ppl who didnt have a valentine ends up here
Mee
You know Biz confirmed the "You got what I need" part was originally supposed to be sung by multiple people in a chorus but no one showed up so he did it himself?
Seems that may have been for the best because this song is still awesome.
Tevin Sparrow somebody needs to make that happen. It’s already a great song, but imagine if the chorus was sung by a choir
well that's actually a good thing
When you're the only person doing the work in a group project
Strange Garage it’s amazing wym
@@StrangeGarage I don't think it's bad. Its just VERY different.
Fly high biz, you made sr2 iconic.
That off-key singing was one of the most classic moments of hip-hop.
that was on key captain stupid
@@georgethinks9431 jeez you’re pretty aggressive huh? Just try to correct politely.
He means when he goes double time lol
@@georgethinks9431 And what key was it, since you know so much? Enlighten us on what key he was singing
@@BIGfoote586 Exactly! 🤣
A rapper that was self-aware enough to not take himself too seriously. Very rare. Very rare indeed.
Biz Markie a legend
I think most rappers are self-aware like this (except maybe Kanye!). It's the rap listeners/critics that can't separate stage alter-egos from real life.
Self-deprecation is a sign of high intellect.
@@ssj002 if you think Kanye isn't Self aware about how eccentric he is you haven't really taken the time to listen to his music.
man this dude its a walking steal guts you know that what crushes and devast any man its caught his girl with another man this dude was just like.. the heck its this? nah im cool... i cant even describe how fucking hard this dude is more then rocky balboa i can say , by the way why does he picked the uglyest chick?
This song needs to make a comeback.
Too phat ~ just a friend

R.I.P. to the big homie Biz who proved there's something other than gang ish. This song was and STILL is relevant to this day
@BP "Gangsta" rap came out as early as mid to late 80s Too short 86. Ice T was changing his format around that same time but his album Power put him on the radar in 88. NWA in 87 but no one really noticed. Eazy E in 88 and Straight outta Compton in 89. Around the same time Biz was doing his thing. And 89 still counts.

Thats called true rap/real hip hop 4 ya!!
Hip-hop.
Yes...
this comment reminds me of tupac's line ".... even though we came from the same places the money and the fame made us all change places" when hip hop started out this was what it was about music that was made by young people with the knowledge that their moms would listen to it. so it was fun and respectful immidietly the records companies realised it is making inroads into the black community they decided to change it and make it all violent and disrespectful. How you ask? by signing gangster rappers and popularising it and saying the pioneers are too soft just like the way they are doing with mumble rappers now.
He kept it simple
RIP BIZ
Biz was really paying that piano too
Everything thats off about the song is what makes it a masterpiece.
👏 Bravo!!!
I know bro 💪🏻
He out of tune but he's in melody. That is a sound design technique called "staying in the pocket".
