Can I Be Your Friend
The other day I was thinking about you,
About the things that you do to make me smile,
About the things that you like, the things that you say,
The things that I would have to call your style.
Can I be your friend for a while?
Can I walk along beside you?
Can I run when you run, laugh when you laugh,
Can I be your friend for a while?
Now I know that we're kinda different,
And I know that you're kinda young,
But that doesn't change a thing, that doesn't mean a thing,
And I know that you and I can have some fun.
I just wouldn't be the same without you,
And I really don't know who I would be,
I'd still stumble along, singing all these songs,
But I wouldn't smile like when you're here with me.
