Best Friend
°×À¼µØ(Brandy) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend, in my time of need so I
I'm calling you now, just to make it through
What else can I do, don't you hear my plea

Friends may come and friends may go
But you should know that
That I've got your back, it's automatic
So never hesitate to call
'cause I'm your sister and always for ya and I

1-I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here by my side
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes and
That's you as my best friend

Whenever I'm down
With all that's going on
It's really going on
Just one of those days
When ya, ya say the right things, to keep me moving
To keep me going strong, what else can I say?

Friends are there through thick and thin
Well I've been told that
And I believe that it's automatic
Call me when you need a friend
'cause I'm your sister and always for ya and I don't know

Repeat 1 (2x)

Oh yeah
I'll be there for you
When you're going through
Things that may need a friend
Friend you can count on me, call me when you need me, oh yeah





Repeat 1 (2x)

look I’m not gonna bs you guys, I’m the real life joker, I’m well aware of my mental illness, ive commited more despicable crimes than the most heinous catholic priest and corrupt politicians put together, I don’t try to hide it, I’m in the process of directing my very own porno soon, I don’t care about anything so long as the world falls apart and I can take everyone with me

you will NOT stop me, you can’t and have NOTHING to threaten me with, i just Luv seeing people suffer and laugh at others demise, i may be childish but I’m NOT to be trifled with, i may have seen too many movies as a kid but I learned more there than I have in any private school I got kicked out of

i have issues, yes, I have abandonment issues, extreme social anxiety, and am constantly ignored so this movie (joker) I went to see it and it really spoke to me, it reflected everything I was going through, minus being OVERLY pathetic. so one day I just let it all go and liberated myself and have since not looked back, not to sound like a school shooter or anything but I’ve never felt happier about accepting the madness. I’m a modern day philosopher if you ask me rather than a madman

dont try to roast me, I got diamond hard skin, funnily enough that’s not the only thing that’s hard 😈
