My best friend say, my best friend say
I'll be there

My best friend say, I can stay with her
At her house, no doubt, any time I like (Uh, uh)
My best friend say, don't let you ruin my life
'Cause you don't do for me and you don't act right
My best friend say
If she was me she would let you go long, long time ago
My best friend say, my best friend say (Oh-oh, oh)
