But I don′t really care about
Any other kind
You make the hard times
Easier to bear
I know I'm cared for
Whenever you are there
There's too many people
Saying things they don′t really mean
Sometimes you find out too late
But I′ve grown to believe in
A friendship so pure since I found it in you
My best friend
Be together 'til the end
On each other we can depend
You can count on it
Whenever you need it in me
You′re my best friend
Gonna cherish it
Gonna keep it real
Until my dying day
(My dying day)
I know we're gonna share it together
(Together)
And nothing can take that away
No no no no no no hey...
Me and my man been chillin
′Bout to get rowdy I was willin
(Brring Brring) goes the telephone
I try to move but my man won't leave me alone
Clock your number on the caller ID
Pick it up-, take a call-, to the hall with me
So what′s up girl, I got time for ya
Always will be there and around for ya
Do you remember the time when I needed ya
Do you remember the time he was bad at ya
Do you remember the time when I cried for ya
I gotta 'fess up that I can't be without you girl
So don′t worry don′t fret
Coz it ain't happened yet
Hold tight ′til I come
