JUST GOOD FRIENDS

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson

(Vocal Duet with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder)

 

 

[Stevie]

Na na na - na na na na nah!

[Michael]

Hoo hoo!

Dancin’ - hee!

Doggone lover!

[Stevie]

C’mon boy

 

[Michael]

I watched you on the floor

Cheek to cheek

She’s getting to you

You didn’t see - her eyes on me - no

She looked right through you

(Before you make)

Before you make

(A big mistake)

Remember

That looks can fool you babe, hee!

 

There’s something I would sure appreciate

(If you can keep a secret)

 

Baby loves me

But she never shows she cares

(No, you won’t see her kiss and hug me)

Baby loves me

No she acts like I’m not there

(That doesn’t mean she doesn’t love me - Ooo)

If they ask her

Tell ‘em that we’re just good friends…

Dah! Chika – chika – chika - ah!

Just good friends…

Ah! Chika – chika - ah!

Ooo

(Doot – do – do – doo…)

Hee! Aaow!

Just good friends…

 

[Stevie]

You better take advice

Never trust - first impressions

I tried to hide this affair

From their suspicions

 

So even if she’s asking you to stay

You better know where you stand

(You better know where you stand)

 

Baby loves me

Though she never shows she cares

(No, you won’t see her kiss and hug me)

My baby loves me

Though she acts like I’m not there

(That doesn’t mean she doesn’t love me - Ooo)

 

Now if they ask you

Jus’ tell ‘em that we’re just good friends…

 

Yes… just good friends

(Just good friends…)

Root – do – do - do…

(Doot – do – do - do…)

Just good friends…

 

[Michael]

Listen up, hee… we’ve got a problem here

[Stevie]

I can see the signs

[Michael]

I guess the lady

[Both]

Is still making up her mind

(Mind)

(Say we’re just good friends)

 

[Stevie]

Baby loves me

Though she never shows she cares

(Never shows she cares)

No you won’t see her kiss and hug me

(Just good friends)

(My baby loves me)

 

[Michael]

Though she acts like I’m not there

You doggone lover, hee…

[Stevie]

Aaow!

(Doot – do – do – doo…)

 

Don’t you wanna know? My baby loves me

Though she never shows she cares

(Never shows she cares)

 

[Michael]

Hee! Hee!

[Stevie]

She doesn’t kiss and hug me

(Just good friends)

 

[Michael]

My baby loves me

She love me, she love me,

Hee! Hee! Hee! Hoo! Hoo!

(Doot – do – do - doo)

(Never shows she cares)
