Friend
A Cinderella Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're not trying to be somebody
And I like to hang with you
Talk about whatever we talk about
Don't care where we go, what we do
Who you know, what you wear
If your hair is blue or purple or pink
Don't have to be smart
Don't need to know everything all the time
And so what if you're a little bit out of it
I don't care, I just wanna be your friend
I like to go to the mall
And walk around with you
Laughing out loud
And you like to go up to people
And tell 'em your cousin is somebody famous
Don't care who we see, what they say
You and me will be okay
If we don't get caught by security
You don't have to be cool
Don't have to be smart
Don't need to know everything all the time
And so what if you're a little bit out of it
I don't care, I just wanna be your friend
I tell you what I don't tell anyone else
Just having you here you know it helps me
You don't have to be cool
Don't have to be smart
Don't need to know everything all the time
Don't have to be tough
Don't have to be cute
Don't need to know anything, anytime
And, so what if you're a little bit out of it
I don't care, I just wanna be your friend
You don't have to be cool
Don't have to be smart
Don't have to be tough
Don't have to be cute
Don't need to know everything all the time
Anything, anytime I just wanna be your friend
I like to be around you
When you're not trying to be somebody

@anthonybegyn6123
Love it too but definitely, the title is innapropriate, the girl accept the guy for who he is, despite his weirdness, she doesn't care about his defaults, i know we can do a lot for friends but the way she describes him, the softness in the refrain made me thin she actually loves him, after all, soulmates can be both companions and friends, ironically, that song is played in A Cinderella Story when Austin & Sam have their first kiss.
