Musiq Soulchild — Benefits

[Verse 1] Couldn't tell you why I ain't know this before I guess that's what I get for not paying attention But when did you get so cool and so beautiful? I know we said we're just friends but now I'm second guessing [Pre-Chorus] I don't know how but somehow now everything's different You know me, you've been around So this ain't no game All I'm tryna say is you can get it in a special way But [Chorus] Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? Before we start kissing And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? But I ain't on a mission Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya I'm just tryna keep it real So what's the deal? Could we be friends — with benefits, huh? [Verse 2] Who ever said sex with friends never works, huh? Yeah, you might be right but I beg to differ 'Cause, there just ain't no way of getting around getting hurt, no But I don't see how it means we can't get together [Pre-Chorus] I ain't gon' lie, I know this ain't gon' last forever No, but we'll cross that bridge when it's time Just as long as everything's understood Whatever happens, we gon' still be good 'cause [Chorus] Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? Before we start kissing And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? But I ain't on a mission Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya I'm just tryna keep it real So what's the deal? Could we be friends — with benefits, huh? [Bridge] I know you got a lot to think about, I know But girl is there someway we can make this real? I know it's sudden, I know you need some time Take as much as you need It's whatever you want, baby [Chorus] Baby girl, listen, I don't want you thinking I'm just playing with you I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? Before we start kissing And we mess around and catch the wrong feelings I'm just tryna keep it real What's the deal? Can we be friends — with benefits, huh? [Outro] I ain't on a mission Promise I ain't finna hit ya and forget ya I'm just tryna keep it real So what's the deal? Could we be friends — with benefits, huh?
