This one right here
|
Goes out to everybody
|
And it doesn't matter who you are
|
Cuz I know that everybody
|
Has a friend (friend)
|
|
What defines a friend
|
The meaning where does it lie?
|
In the mind
|
In the money
|
In the face
|
In in the eyes
|
In the days and the nights
|
Well what is a friend
|
Do you love it and leave it
|
Again and again?
|
|
Now our story begins
|
Of two little friends
|
You would've thought they were twins
|
Would've thought they was kin
|
Wouldn't think they could manage
|
All the time they would spend
|
For each other they'd fend
|
For their friends till the end
|
And their mothers know mothers
|
Sisters know brothers
|
Mothers know fathers
|
Sons know their daughters
|
Blood thicker than water
|
If one had 50 cents
|
They'd both have a quarter
|
It only makes sense
|
That destined love was in order
|
They grew up together
|
From pre-K to high school
|
Winters in the snow
|
Summers in the pool
|
He's an athlete
|
She's an actress
|
But hormones would lead them to the mattress
|
|
Chorus:
|
But you are my friend (friend)
|
Together through thick and thin (friend)
|
Like it we were
|
All the things that we've been through
|
I put so much trust in you
|
Back then (friend)
|
Now what kind of friend
|
Could you have been
|
|
Not furious just curious
|
She saw himself fit
|
Who better than a boy
|
The girl grew up with
|
How 'bout all the walks in the park
|
On the phone all night
|
Dreams like that she saw in plain sight
|
To his friends he's urgin'
|
The simple fact she's a virgin
|
To her he'll be urgin'
|
Sexually lets merge
|
As you can see
|
There's two different dreams
|
Her thoughts are so pure
|
His low as the floor
|
She's lookin'
|
He's gawkin'
|
They're walkin' and talkin'
|
About a new stage and phase
|
That they should embark in
|
So it came to that night
|
No dinner no candlelight
|
The female exhales
|
Somethin' doesn't feel right
|
She said it polite
|
Honey please not tonight
|
He didn't get in it
|
So he got real malignant
|
He hit her
|
It hurt
|
Her breath got suspended
|
Then he looked at his work
|
Not feelin' so splendid
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Their meeting had ended
|
Feelin' offended
|
He went and attended
|
A counselin' session
|
Now life is a lesson
|
Full of questions
|
Why we drown down
|
Rather than manifestin'
|
Went to his friend
|
Right from the beginnin'
|
With tears in his eyes
|
Said I apologize
|
She much obliged
|
Made amends
|
Once again
|
They're friends to the end
|
Yeah it was true love again
|
As transparent as lens
|
As apparent as kin
|
|
What defines a friend
|
Where does it lie
|
In the mind
|
In the money
|
In the face
|
In the eyes
|
In the days and the nights
|
What is a friend
|
Do you love it and leave it
|
Again and again
|
|
In the time
|
In the sadness
|
In the hurt
|
In the pride
|
It's the person dispersin'
|
Through the hands of time
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Oh
|
Oh oh
|
I thought you were my friend
|
What kind of friend?
|
What kind of friend?
|
