[Verse 1]
Can't defend my reputation, girl
If you don't even make a sound
Hold me down
Overcome my limitations
Just speak up, don't let them bring us down
To bring us down

So, you can tell your friends

[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one, only one I think about
Every time you go, I want you to stay around
If you want to give 'em something to talk about
(Say it loud, tell them, say it out loud)
Oh, I tell them I'm the one, I'm the one you can't be without
You can tell your friends I never let you down
How I let you erase every single doubt
(Tell your friends, tell your, tell your friends)

So, you can tell your friends

[Verse 2]
You should put it out your mind
'cause it's jealousy
People hate what they can't have
And they should let it be
I know how to love 'cause you taught me how
I don't like who I used to be, but that don't matter now

'Cause they're in your head but I'm in your heart
Put up a fight before they tear us apart
You know me, you know they don't even know me
(So, you can tell your friends)
So, you can tell your friends

[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one, only one I think about
Every time you go, I want you to stay around
If you want to give 'em something to talk about
(Say it loud, tell them, say it out loud)
Oh, I tell them I'm the one, I'm the one you can't be without
You can tell your friends I never let you down
How I let you erase every single doubt
(Tell your friends, tell your, tell your friends)

So you can tell your friends
(So you can tell your friends)

[Bridge]
Tell your friends we ain't playing games
Tell your friends we didn't finish it
Tell your friends I ain't the same as
That last guy I made you forget

Tell your family I said "hi"
Tell your friends I'm invited
Tell your friends I love this song
And they're just helping you and me write it

Tell your friends we ain't playing games
Tell your friends we didn't finish it
Tell your friends I ain't the same as
That last guy I made you forget

Tell your family I said "hi"
Tell your friends I'm invited
Tell your friends I love this song
And they're helping you and me write it

Ohhhhhhh, oohhhhhhh

[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one, only one I think about
Every time you go, I want you to stay around
If you want to give 'em something to talk about
(Say it loud, tell them, say it out loud)
Oh, I tell them I'm the one, I'm the one you can't be without
You can tell your friends I never let you down
How I let you erase every single doubt
(Tell your friends, tell your, tell your friends)

So, you can tell your friends
So, you can tell your friends

[Outro]
Put up a fight before they tear us apart
You know me, you know they don't even know me
(So, you can tell your friends)
