The song "Just A Friend" by Jasmine Villegas is about a complicated relationship where the narrator is questioning the intentions and feelings of the person she is involved with. The lyrics suggest that despite claiming to be just friends, there is a deeper connection between the two. In the first verse, the narrator acknowledges that both of them know the truth of their relationship, but the other person continues to do things that contradict being just friends. It implies that the person may be lying to others about their involvement. The chorus reflects the confusion and frustration of the narrator. She questions why she knows what the other person's lips feel like if they are just friends. The mention of a camera telling lies suggests that there is evidence or proof of their intimate moments, further emphasizing the contradiction of being "just a friend." In the second verse, the narrator portrays the other person as someone who is constantly present in her life, always texting and never being apart for too long. This reinforces the idea that their relationship goes beyond friendship. The bridge reveals the narrator's feelings of not meeting the other person's standards and feeling inadequate. She expresses her disillusionment with the other person's girlfriend, believing that the person has lied about her as well. The final chorus repeats the sentiment of questioning the nature of their relationship. The narrator wonders why she knows intimate details if they are just friends and suggests that the other person may be crazy for denying their connection. Overall, "Just A Friend" portrays a relationship that is more than friendships, but one party denies or downplays their true feelings. The lyrics convey the frustration, confusion, and longing of the narrator towards this complicated situation.
