The day I met you we got drunk in the backyard
With our friend Drew
I remember we had our first slumber party
We were both feelin' blue
A few months later, right before I went to rehab
You gave me my first tattoo
It was a hard time, a really fuckin' dark time
Thank God I found you

Oh, you build me up when I'm feelin' low, low, low
Since we met, I don't feel alone, 'lone, 'lone

I'm callin' up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
When I'm with my best friend
I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm cryin'

When you got a best friend, yeah
You can be yourself
When you got a best friend
You don't need nothing else

Do you remember when we drove out to the mountains
For that weird retreat?
It's kinda fuzzy 'cause we snuck out to get red wine
And I combed out your weave
Do you remember the night before the GRAMMYs?
I was losin' my shit
I knew you were nervous
And I thought it'd make you laugh
So I sent you a bag of candy dicks

Oh, you build me up when I'm feelin' low, low, low
Since we met, I don't feel alone, 'lone, 'lone

I'm callin' up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
'Cause when I'm with my best friend
I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm cryin'

When you got a best friend
Yeah, you can be yourself
When you got a best friend
You don't need nothing else

Five years later and we're still right here together
With our friend, Stu
It's five years later and it keeps on gettin' better
My mom's here too

I'm callin' up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
'Cause when I'm with my best friend
I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm cryin'

When you got a best friend
(You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
Yeah, you can be yourself
(You're my best friend, it's true)
When you got a best friend
(You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
You don't need nothing else
(You're my best friend, it's you)
When you got a best friend
(You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
Yeah, you can be yourself
(You're my best friend, it's true)
When you got a best friend
(You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
You don't need nothing else
(You're my best friend, it's you)
