This one right here goes out to everybody
And it doesn't matter who you are
'Cause 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 fifty 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

I thought you were 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 let's 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

I thought you were 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

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 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

I thought you were 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

Oh, oh, oh
I thought you were my friend
What kind of friend?
What kind of friend?
