This one right here   Goes out to everybody   And it doesn't matter who you are   'cause I know that everybody    Has a friend (friend)      What defines a friend   The meaning where does it lie?   In the mind    In the money   In the face    In in the eyes   In the days and the nights   Well what is a friend   Do you love it and leave it   Again and again?   Now our story begins   Of two little friends   You would've thought they were twins   Would've thought they was kin   Wouldn't think they could manage   All the time they would spend   For each other they'd fend   For their friends till the end   And their mothers know mothers   Sisters know brothers   Mothers know fathers   Sons know their daughters   Blood thicker than water   If one had 50 cents   They'd both have a quarter   It only makes sense   That destined love was in order   They grew up together   From pre-K to high school   Winters in the snow   Summers in the pool   He's an athlete   She's an actress   But hormones would lead them to the mattress      [Chorus]   I thought you were my friend (friend)   Together through thick and thin (friend)   Like it we were   All the things that we've been through   I put so much trust in you    Back then (friend)   Now what kind of friend   Could you have been      Not furious just curious   She saw himself fit   Who better than a boy    The girl grew up with   How 'bout all the walks in the park   On the phone all night   Dreams like that she saw in plain sight   To his friends he's urgin'   The simple fact she's a virgin   To her he'll be urgin'   Sexually lets merge   As you can see   There's two different dreams   Her thoughts are so pure   His low as the floor   She's lookin'   He's gawkin'   They're walkin' and talkin'   About a new stage and phase   That they should embark in   So it came to that night   No dinner no candlelight   The female exhales   Somethin' doesn't feel right   She said it polite   Honey please not tonight   He didn't get in it   So he got real malignant   He hit her   It hurt   Her breath got suspended   Then he looked at his work   Not feelin' so splendid      [Chorus]      Their meeting had ended   Feelin' offended   He went and attended   A counselin' session   Now life is a lesson   Full of questions   Why we drown down   Rather than manifestin'   Went to his friend   Right from the beginnin'   With tears in his eyes   Said I apologize   She much obliged   Made amends   Once again   They're friends to the end   Yeah it was true love again   As transparent as lens   As apparent as kin   What defines a friend   Where does it lie   In the mind   In the money   In the face   In the eyes   In the days and the nights   What is a friend   Do you love and leave it   Again and again   In the time   In the sadness   In the hurt   In the pride   It's the person dispersin'   Through the hands of time      [Chorus]      Oh   Oh oh   I thought you were my friend   What kind of friend?   What kind of friend?
