Best friends
Floppy Dee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You live in an other town
In a town where the leafs are brown
And I wanted you to stay
Anyway you where gone alone without me
I know you dont wanted to go (dont wanted to go) ((no, no, no))
But it's sad you had to go home (sad you had to go home)

If I could be your favorite guy

I'd hold on until I die
And I promise I'll be there for you
Best friends forever I wont let you down
You can count on me (you can count on me)
You can count on me
All life long

If I could be your favorite guy
I'd hold on until I die
And I promise I'll be there for you
Best friends forever I wont let you down
You can count on me (you can count on me)

You can count on me
All life long
