He's a Friend

I don't really mean to be different
There's just so much I wanna know
I wonder if the little girl who wrote to me feels the same way
Ariel, why the long face
You've been thinking about humans again, haven't you
Cheer up, girl, listen to your old friend Sebastian
At the ball tonight when the music starts to play
You'll forget all your troubles
I'll try, Sebastian
You do that

How can this little fellow be so wise
Living under the sea
How can he know about the great big world
And make it so plain to me
I must admit he's a funny sight
But he's the one who makes everything right

He's a friend
Someone to love and trust till the end
"Aw, girl, I'll always be there for you" (he's a friend)
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)

Ah, I like that
But if your father knew you were dreaming about the surface again
You know who'd be in trouble? (He's a friend) me, that's who

When I'm sinkin' in a sea of doubt
About to throw it all away
Here he comes, and pulls me out
He always knows just what to say
I must admit his point of view
Is kind of hard but he always comes through

He's a friend
Someone to love and trust till the end
"That's me, girl" (he's a friend)
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)

Listen, Ariel, your father gets mad at you
'Cause he loves you so much
He's afraid you're gonna get hurt out there
In that big ocean (he's a friend, he's a friend)
You see, the human world is a mess (he's a friend, he's a friend)
I know (he's a friend)
I traveled all over the place (he's a friend, he's a friend)

He's been around for a long, long time
And traveled so far away
So now he knows just how to live each day

He's a friend
Someone to love and trust till the end
"You got that right" (he's a friend)
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)
He's a friend

Upper crustacean, I like that
Oh, come on now, Ariel (he's a friend)
It's time for the mermaid's ball (yeah)
Oh, you gonna have the best time
You ever had in your whole life, girl
(He's a friend, yeah) now, let me see a smile lighting up
That pretty face of yours, that's it
