This catchy song by our friend Joanne Hammil really gets at the ups and downs of friendship, respecting what a complicated subject this can be.
(Chorus:) I wanna be friends with you! I wanna laugh again and again with you; Argue and know that we can see it through; I wanna be right there when you're feelin' blue, Stick together like crazy glue And be friends, friends, friends with you.
Some people have one best friend - that always sounds like fun; Some people have a bunch of friends and they like somethin' different 'bout every one; Well, I don't know just what I've got, but right now I know that I like you a lot Because I'm friends, friends, friends with . . . Wanna travel around the bends with . . . Friends, friends, friends with you!
(Chorus)
Sometimes when we're together, it's not as good as I thought it would be And sometimes when we fight it seems it's not what a friendship ought to be But most of the time when we're goofin' around, there's nothing puts me so far off the ground As bein' friends, friends, friends with . . . We can fight and make amends with . . . Friends, friends, friends with you!
(Bridge:) There are times when I feel lonely, and seems like no one cares Sometimes when I think of friends, it feels like nobody's really there So I've learned to be my own friend too, 'cause there's times when nobobdy else will do Hey, my own good friendship can pull me through, 'till I can be with you
(Chorus)
(Bridge:) Hey, we don't always have to have fun, don't even have to smile We can tell each other stupid stuff, even be sad for a while; But when it seems like things just couldn't be worse Hey, there's nothing better in this universe Than bein' friends, friends, friends, with . . . Standin' together 'till the ends with . . . Friends, friends, friends with you!
(Chorus - repeat "Friends, friends, friends with" 3x before last phrase)
