Avant - Best Friend Lyrics
[Lyrics Avant - Best Friend]
I’m looking at this text from you
All except for what he put you through
But this time it seems like it feels some kind of way
Said you really need to see me
But it’s a different kind of energy
Maybe I’m just trippin'
Maybe you’re just teasin'
All I need is a reason
Oh, but tonight is just the right time
I got freaky shit on my mind,
Hope you feeling the same
Feeling is too strong, girl it’s on
I’m about to press send
I’m talking to my best friend
She’s vulnerable and I am to
I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do
I don’t wanna feel different
Rolling with my best friend (Yeah yeah)
I was sure that something like this could happen
When you make the opposite your best friend
Oho, oho, oh whooa, yeah
When you make the opposite your best friend
Oho, oho, oh ...
