Medley
Nelly Furtado; Timbaland; Justin Timberlake Lyrics

Friends
Referring to people who are close and have mutual trust and support

How many of us have them?
Asking how many people have true friends they can rely on

Friends
Referring to people who are close and have mutual trust and support

Ones you can depend on
Referring to friends who are reliable and trustworthy

You just call on me brother
Saying that the artist is there for their friend when needed

When you need a hand
Offering to help their friend in a time of need

We all need somebody to lean on
Expressing the idea that everyone needs support and someone to rely on

Lean on me
Encouraging their friend to rely on them for support and help

When you're not strong
Referring to times when their friend might be feeling weak or vulnerable

And I'll be your friend
Assuring their friend that they will be their friend through difficult times

I'll help you carry on
Promising to help their friend continue on despite difficulties

For it won't be long
Suggesting that the tough times won't last forever

'Til I'm gonna need
Implying that the singer will also need support at some point

Somebody to lean on
Echoing the idea that everyone needs support and someone to rely on

Thank you for being a friend
Expressing gratitude towards a friend who has been a source of support and comfort

(You know this one)
Acknowledging the familiarity of this well-known song lyric

Traveled down the road and back again
Describing a journey through life that has had its ups and downs

Your heart is true
Praising a friend for their genuine and authentic nature

You're a pal and a confidant
Describing a friend who is both a trusted companion and someone to confide in

And if you threw a party
Imagining a scenario in which the artist's friend hosts a celebration

Invited everyone you knew
Suggesting that the friend would invite all of their acquaintances to the party

Well you would see
Implying that something impressive or meaningful would happen if this party occurred

The biggest gift would be from me
Stating that the singer's gift would be the most significant or special one

And the card attached would say
Describing a card that is included with the artist's gift

Thank you for being a friend
Repeating the earlier expression of gratitude towards the singer's friend

Oh you're the best friend
Admiring their friend's exceptional qualities and importance in the singer's life

That I've ever had
Stating that this friend is the most special and cherished one the singer has had

I've been with you such a long time
Describing the length of time the artist has been friends with this person

You're my sunshine
Comparing their friend to a source of light, warmth, and happiness in their life

And I want you to know
Asserting the importance of communicating feelings to their friend

My feelings are true
Affirming that the singer's emotions toward their friend are genuine

I really love you
Expressing deep affection for their friend

You're my best friend
