I'll Be Your Best Friend

Maybe it's in my face
Or in the way I choose
To present myself
Maybe it's in my eyes
That give a look as if to say,
"Please choose me from the shelf"

But I can be walking alone, minding my own
When it suddenly seems
That it's time to talk
'Cause a stranger makes it clear
He needs an ear willing to hear
Him chit-chat while we walk

Brother, can you spare some time...?

Desperately needs to be heard
By someone besides the walls
He'd do anything for a little two-way
Unfortunately, nobody calls
So he chooses me to be his pal
Simple, but it makes his day
And it took me back to when I was a child
'Cause he looked at me as if to say,
"I'll be your best friend..."

Well, sometimes I don't mind
When he enters my world
But sometimes my world is just for me
So I may take in his talk
But other times it's best
Just to let me be

So if I don't seem to care what you say
I'll give a look
Thinking you're kinda odd
But then again, it won't kill me
If I took the time just to give
A simple smile and nod

Maybe I could spare some time...

Be your best friend

Be your best friend
Be your best friend
