I don't know what to say

I don't know where to begin

I guess all that I can say

Is thanks for being my friends

I deserted you many times

For reasons you couldn't see

But no matter what I did to you

You always stayed loyal to me

When you finally learned the truth

The rules said you had to forget

But we're friends for life and friends for real

And I couldn't make myself do it

The months went on and we stayed friends

You helped me quite a lot

You thought you were worthless sidekicks

But I knew you were not

Even through the bad times

You stayed with me all the way

We had our share of arguments

But we were friends at the end of the day

You always stuck by my side

No matter what I did

When you tried to give me good advice

I turned away instead

A love for my mortal enemy

You said would never work

But you came to my rescue anyway

Though I'd been a total jerk

When I was down

Depressed and low

You helped me through

My pain and sorrow

And when things got better

You were there

To cheer me on

Oh, the times we've shared

You never left me

And that, it seems

Is what friendship

Really means
