BEST FRIEND We started out as the shopping mall hearts holding hands, french kissing, giving hickies outside mini-marts It was a good thing your friend went away I the need for fresh air, you were the wind that blew me away Now, you were the one I'd defend And you held my heart in your hands Sometimes a lover Can also be your best friend We had our hard times, didn't stop to look back 'Cause our lives move too quickly to spend the time dwelling in the past It is a good thing, a friendship that rules! Doing something, doing nothing, just hangin' with you's pretty cool Now, you are the one I'd defend And you hold my heart in your hands Sometimes a lover Can also be your best friend * solo * It is a good thing that we're always right 'Cause we've been with eachother nearly half of our lives, my dear And you are the one I defend And you hold my heart in your hands Sometimes a lover Can also be your best friend Baby, you're my best friend!
