Since back in the day    We've been close friends    You would call on me telling me your problems    I'd been feeling things, things I never said    When you said that you were in love    Wish it was me instead    I'd treat you like an angel    He treats you like a fool    When you were hurting baby, i was broken too    And i can't go on this way    I need you baby       [Chorus]    Tired of being the shoulder you lean on    Wanna be the one you hold on to    More than just a friend    Let me be your everything    Wish I knew the way to make you    See that i've fallen in love with you    Can't you see I love you baby       If I sit you down, tell you what i'm going through    Will you leave him?    Will it be too much for you?    Don't wanna be an addition    To your situation    I never wanna be a complication    But if i see you cry    I'm stepping in    I can't keep watching you get your heart broken    (I can't go on this way)      [Chorus]          I ain't never said that i loved you    More than the friend that put nothin above you    And i could be more than the shoulder you lean on    I could be your king little lady, you'd be gettin your queen on    It hurt me everytime i seen him hurt you    Thinkin 'bout these feelins got me runnin in circles    (I can't go on this way)    I love your mind, body and soul, and even your perfume       [Chorus x2]       Whenever you're down, a mess (trouble)   I will be there baby    I will lift you up when (trouble)   When there's trouble girl    Look over your shoulders honey    When there's (trouble)    You can count on me   (Can't you see I love you baby)
