  • Striking out?
    Well count me in
    I'm gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
    Ain't no doubt
    Gonna win
    A walk through hell ain't bad compared to where we've been

    Oh you can depend on me
    Over and over...over and over
    Know that I intend to be
    The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
    And you can call on me until the day you die

    Years may come and go
    Here's one thing I know
    All my life
    You're a friend of mine

    That argument
    I can't forget
    We fought so hard I don't think I've recovered yet
    The girls we knew
    Who thought you were cool
    I never introduced my favorite ones to you

    Oh you can depend on me
    Over and over...over and over
    Know that I intend to be
    The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
    And you can call on me until the day you die

    Years may come and go
    Here's one thing I know
    All my life
    You're a friend of mine

    Oh you can depend on me
    Over and over...over and over
    Know that I intend to be
    The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
    And you can call on me until the day you die

    Years may come and go
    Here's one thing I know
    All my life
    You're a friend of mine

    Oh you can depend on me
    I'll be fine
    'Cause you're a friend of mine
    Yeeaah
    I'll be fine
    'Cause you're a friend of mine Writer/s: JEFFREY COHEN, NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN
