intro

Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh

verse

You say you love me, I say you crazy
We′re nothing more than friends
You're not my lover, more like a brother
I know you since we were like ten, yeah

hook

Don′t mess it up, talkin' that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it
When you say you love me, that make me crazy
Here we go again

pre-chorus

Don′t go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain′t goin' away without a fight
You can′t be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I′ve told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

chorus

Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven′t I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
F-R-I-E-N-D-S

verse

Have you got no shame? You lookin′ insane
Turnin′ up at my door
It's two in the mornin′, the rain is pourin'
Haven′t we been here before?

hook

Don't mess it up, talkin′ that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it
Have you got no shame? You lookin' insane
Here we go again

pre-chorus

So don′t go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain′t goin' away without a fight
You can′t be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I′ve told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious? (Haven′t I made it?)
Haven't I made it clear? (Haven't I made it clear?)
Want me to spell it out for you?

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
That's how you f- spell "friends"

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
We′re just friends

Meaning
The song 'FRIENDS' by Marshmello feat. Anne-Marie talks about a person dealing with someone who can't accept being just friends and keeps pushing for more despite clear signals. The lyrics emphasize the frustration of setting boundaries and repeatedly spelling out the platonic nature of their relationship, using the metaphor of spelling out 'F-R-I-E-N-D-S' to drive home the point.
