Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'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)

Thanks, I appreciate you checking out my video. I am glad you like this song. I had this on 12" Vinyl Record back in 1995. I had Brandy's debut studio album entitled "Brandy" on compact disc in late 1994.
