It’s a foolishness, and I don’t mean to brag
I’m just saying what doesn’t need to be said
I’m just latching onto sunlight
I love my friends, you know they keep me together
I take them for granted sometimes but they get it
I love my friends
to sing to you all, old and new
gives my life meaning for a moment in praising you
together we’ll make it through
I love my friends, even when they don’t text me back
I don’t text back too, but I’m better at it than you
I love my friends
and if we could all just be buds
and stop trying to be famous
the world would be a better place
not to lecture but stop trying to be famous
Boy I love my friends
even when they try to be famous
I try to be famous too, it’s stupid but you know what you do it too
I love my friends I love my friends I love my friends I love my friends
I love my friends, thank god they aren’t politicians
you know we could be friends too, just saying, it’s a thing we could do
not being creepy, just being friends like, it’s a cool thing to do
because I love my friends, yes, even you
