Friend
Kaitlyn Harner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be around you
When you're not trying to be somebody
And I like to
Hang with you
Talk about
Whatever we talk about
What we do
Who you know
What you wear
Or if your hair is blue or purple or pink
You don't have to be cool
Don't have to be smart
Don't need to know everything all the time
It's all right if you're a little bit out of it
I don't care
I just wanna be your friend
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 them your cousin is
Somebody famous
Don't care who we see
What they say
You and me
We'll 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
It's all right if you're a little bit out of it
I don't care
I just wanna be your friend
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
You don't have to be tough
Don't have to be cute
Don't need to know anything any time
It's all right if you're a little bit out of it
I just wanna be
I just wanna be your friend
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 any time
I just wanna be your friend
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.
