Well. Since no one else has commented, I'm going to put forward three possibilities for the lyrics: "I love your friend when I saw his film, He's got a funny face but I like that because he still looks cool"
He means that her boyfriend has a funny face but didn't have enough space in the song to add the extra syllable, hence "I liked your friend ..."
Its from an actual and specific situation that he has personally experienced and so listeners will not be able to relate to this part of the song in the same way that they can with the rest of the song
It highlights that he wants to impress her by showing that he likes everything about her, even her friend with the funny face.
None of these explanations seem quite right but it's all I can think of so far.
