This was me and my "EX" song back in the day (1998). The lyrics fit exactly to what was going on with us. Starting off as friends and trying to take it to the next level. [:-)
You know the answer, based on what you posted at least, leave it alone. Since he professed his feelings, things will probably be weird going forward, 'cuz he put himself out there like that. But leave it alone, because your feelings won't match his, and it will be a problem for sure. I've seen it become a problem on both sides. I believe men and women can be friends, but once you cross that line, somebody is going to get hurt especially when the feelings aren't mutual.
so my best guy friend just professed his feelings to me. I've really been thinking if guys and girls can really be friends without feeling ever forming for one of the persons. I'm not really attracted to him so it never crossed my mind but things are a little weird now because I dont feel the same way he does.
Met a young lady when she was 19 and I was 29 and never thought I would fall in love, especially with someone so much younger than myself. Gave her this CD after falling in love and told her that I think about her seven days a week, non-stop. Still madly in love with her, 14 years later. We are 4000 miles apart and her family just wouldn't let it happen. So I go on forever with a broken heart. This will forever be my jam, I will love you forever Rachique
@sexybrat101390 aaliyah dead r.i.p so she dont count,,,, lauryn hill is crazy.... india arie talented but not as world wide appeal,,,, jill scott can sing better but she dont have hood appeal..... vivian green (WHO) i like her but she not on any of the chicks level
@Timario007 Most people who made the best music is dead; People who are crazy have better imaginations to make better songs; The people who don't have the worldwide appeal have the best talent because fame doesn't influence their songs like Beyonce for instance; Hood appeal isn't important. Class and style could outdo any 'hood appeal'; Underdogs, in my opinion, do better because they have nothing to lose when they make their songs. Just a thought.
@sexybrat101390 You make some good points... What I love about about Mary is that you can feel her emotions trough her songs, whether its pain, love etc, especially when she performs live, its like you know exactly what shes going through.
Im not saying the ladies u mentioned arent talented, I just think that mary has that extra something that makes her stand out from most artists
@shakasrepresent Of course. She's a veteran to the music business, but she didn't let the money influence what she sung about. I have mad respect to her, but I love people who make songs many people don't appreciate nowadays. Oh yeah! I forgot Erkyah Badu!! I love her (I don't know if I spell her first name right...)!
This song is so real... All my ex boyfriends were my homeboys first so I feel where she coming from... A lot of those friendships were destroyed cuz after we broke up the friendship was killed... And my boyfriend now was my friend first too... So I love this song.
@shautysexie Dont worry babe, i fell in love with my best friend years ago and love him more and more each day, trust me the best lovers can also be your best friend! :) x x x
@Tiffanycoloureduggs I fell in love w/my best guy friend and me and him aren't even friends anymore. And the most romantic night I had w/him (in my mind) we .listened to this song on my way home @ 2 in the morning :/
