Best Friend Lyrics - Jazmine Sullivan

I was sitting in a corner wondering what in the world went wrong. 

I was thinking about my best friend. 

So I wrote it in this song. 

I was meeting her for dinner. 

She was waiting across town. 

She was minding her own business. 

Until somebody shot her down. 

How could one take life in ones own hands? 

Who told you, you could take the breath that god breathed into man 

They could be loved they could be needed 

They could even be somebody's world 

Like the love, I shared with my best friend 

There was a boy standing on the corner 

I'd never seen him in my life 

Statistics are showing he wont make it through the night 

I don't know what I can tell you 

To make you understand 

Since this killing of young people 

Is nothing but the enemies plan 

Don't you know...he can be somebody's best friend, someone's lover, someone's ken? 

Life shut out with by just a touch, of your feelings and soul 

With the pain, comes shattered memories 

Oh someone, who was once somebody's best friend 

Really really hurt me bad, best friend that I ever had 

You don't even know my name, but you hurt me, yeah yeah yeah 

You hurt me (hurt me), hurt me (hurt me), made me cry, cry-y-y 

Tell me why? Why? Why? Why? 

Oh why'd you have to do it to me, why'd you have to do it to me, why'd you have to do it to me 

Ohhh you don't even know my name, but you took my best friend 

And can you tell me why? 

Mmmmm-mm-mm-mm 

Like the love, I shared with my best friend (my best friend) 

Like the love, I shared with my best....my best friend 

My best friend
