That's What Friends Are For

Long ago when i was new,
New in school and all,
I swore i had no friends on earth,
I felt like a fool.

You see what i saw,
Saw what you saw,
Was a world of big and little kids,
Bein' bossed by the old.

I was so young,
I was so dumb,
I was just a kid.
A kid with crooked teeth
because he sucked his thumb.

I looked up, up,
To those skies of blue,
I looked up, up,
And that was when i saw a kid just like you.

Now today when i,
See him around.
I say wassup,
Then he grins like a clown.

You see ee ee ee.
You see ee ee ee.
I'm not alone no more.
I'm not alone no more.
And That's What Friends Are For.

I never thought,
I'd have ever felt that way,
Like i did,
When i met him,
until yesterday.

I looked up, up,
To those skies of blue.
I looked up, up,
And that was when i saw best friend number two.

Now today when i,
See her around.
I say wassup,
And a smile springs from her frown.

You see ee ee ee.
You see ee ee ee.
I'm not afraid no more.
I'm not afraid no more.
And That's What Friends Are For.

I'm not exactly bright,
I'm not exactly dumb.
I'm not the kid with crooked teeth,
Because he sucked thumb.

I'm not the loser kid,
I'm not Mr Popularity.
I don't wanna be like that,
And that's what my circle up to three.

You see ee ee ee.
You see ee ee ee.
I'm not aloner no more.
I'm not aloner no more.
And That's What Friends are For.

Despite all my faults,
Despite any of my strops.
Despite any breaking up.
Our friendship comes out on top.

Then there was this guy,
He was bullied at all his schools before.
We invited him into our posse,
And now we are four.

You see ee ee ee.
You see ee ee ee.
We're together forever.
We're together forever.
And That's What We Friends Are For.
