[Intro:]
|
This one right here goes out to everybody
|
And it doesn't matter who your are
|
Cuz I know that everybody has a friend
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
What defines a friend, the meaning
|
Where does it lye
|
In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes
|
In the days, in the nights, well what is a friend
|
Do you love it and leave it again and again
|
So now our story begins of two little friends
|
You would have thought they were twins
|
Would have thought they were kiddin
|
Wouldn't think they can bend
|
Because all the time they would spend
|
For each other they would fend
|
For they friends to the end
|
Their mothers know mothers
|
Sisters know brothers
|
Mothers know fathers
|
Sons know they daughters
|
They blood thicka then water
|
If one had fifty cents they'd both have a quarter
|
That only makes sense, adjusting levels and all
|
They grew up together from pre-k to high school
|
Winters in the snow, summers in the pool
|
He's and athlete, she's an actress
|
But hormones would lead them...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You have been there, through thick and thin
|
Always beside me, you are my friend
|
More than money, fortune, or fame
|
Forever and ever, we will remain
|
We will remain friends
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Not furious just curious
|
She saw himself fit
|
Who better than the boo the girl grew up with
|
How bout the walks in the park
|
On the phone all night
|
Dreams like that she saw in plain sight
|
To his friends he's urgent
|
Simple fact she's a virgin
|
To her he'll be urging sexually let's merge
|
As you can see there's two different dreams
|
Her thoughts are so pure, his low as the floor
|
She's looking he's balking
|
Now walking and talking
|
Bout a new stage and phase
|
That they should embark in
|
So it came to that length
|
No dinner, no candlelight
|
The female exhales
|
Something doesn't feel right
|
She said it polite, honey please not tonight
|
Cuz he didn't get any, he got real malignant
|
Hit her, it hurt, her breath got suspended
|
Then he looked at his work not feeling:
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You have been there, through thick and thin
|
Always beside me, you are my friend
|
More than money, fortune, or fame
|
Forever and ever, we will remain
|
We will remain friends
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Their meeting had ended
|
Feeling offended, he went and attended
|
To a counseling session
|
Now life is a lesson
|
Full of questions
|
Why be drowned down
|
Rather than manifested
|
Went to his friend right from the beginning
|
With tears in his eyes he said I apologize
|
She much obliged, made amends
|
Once again, they're friends to the end
|
Yea, it was true love again
|
As transparent as when
|
A parent is caring
|
What defines a friend
|
Where does it lye
|
In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes
|
In the days, in the nights, what is a friend
|
Did you love it and leave it again and again
|
In time in the sadness in the hurt in the pride
|
It's the person dispersing through the hands of time
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You have been there, through thick and thin
|
Always beside me, you are my friend
|
More than money, fortune, or fame
|
Forever and ever, we will remain
|
|
You have been there, through thick and thin
|
Always beside me, you are my friend
|
More than money, fortune, or fame
|
Forever and ever, we will remain
|
We will remain friends
|
|
