Lyrics
I hardly like anybody
Sad to say but it's true
Well not everybody
`Cause I sure like you
I've always believed
A good friend is very rare
Aquaintances fall away
I got `em to spare
I never know where to start
And you never know where it ends
but I'll ask you anyway
Do you wanna be friends
Back when I was a kid
My friends were always around
But now that I'm older
They can barely be found
Some friends changed for the worse
Some just drifted away
A few are forever gone
I pray they're okay
I've been waiting
For a friend like you
And something tells me
That you have too
I'd gladly suffer the fools
If I knew you'd be with me
But there aren't any rules
And I think that you'd agree
Trust should never be cheap
Don't ever give it away
Invest it in your friend
For your rainy day
