Lyrics:

Patrice
A friend's not a cheap little phony creep, or a jerk tryna make a deal
A friend is a person, who most of all, cares about what you feel
And nothing is harder than learning a friend isn't real

A friend send notes back and forth all day, and doesn't care that you can't spell
A friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher, but a friend would never tell
A friend's outside waiting the minute you both hear the bell
And if your heart is always breaking
'Cause the world is just not fair
When you're at your worst
Your friend's the first one there
Giving you something to lean on
And that's what it means to be a friend

A friend won't smoke when she's in your room or laugh at the poems you write
A friend won't go and start kissing your brother the minute that you're out of sight
A friend is the person you call 16 times every night

And if your heart is always breaking
And you want to run and hide
When your hope is gone
Your friend is on your side

If someone moves in round the corner
And you want to show him you care
So you give him all your last month of vacation
And all of the time you can spare
And then on the first day of classes
He acts like your not even there
Then he doesn't know
He doesn't know, he'll never know
What it means to be a friend
