You're My Best Friend
Lizzie Sider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll pick up the phone and then
Just like that I'll be okay
And I know if I'm straying just outside the lines
You'll pull me back in just in time
To save the day
And I know I can count on you through thick and thin
You're my best friend
When I talk you finish my sentence
It's you and me when the world's against us
Nothing ever comin' between us
You're my best friend
I never walk alone when I'm with you
All the laugh and cryin' we get through
I don't know what I'd do without you
You're my best friend
We share secrets like we share our clothes
That happy dance nobody knows
And we think we're cool
You know about the boy who broke my heart
You're the one who warned me from the start
But I was such a fool
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
You and I like sisters, sure we have our fights
Deep down inside, we're just so alike
(Chorus - change to you form on lines 1 and 5)
