I listen to you when you got things on your mind 
I try and tell you but you never have the time 
You want my love but give me nothing in return 
Are you satisfied 
You think the grass is greener on the other side 
You're chasing rainbows baby in an empty sky 
Well it seems to me you don't know the reason why 

CHORUS 
We can be lovers maybe sometimes 
We can pretend that we are so wild 
But I can tell from the inside 
What we have really don't mean a thing 
You don't know how to be a friend of mine 
Be a friend of mine 
Be a friend of mine 

Sometimes you tell me things 
That makes me want to smile 
I see right through you baby wider than a mile 
You believe in what you say not what you do 
Well that's sad baby 
I'm not looking for someone that has to be like me 
It doesn't matter that you have a history 
All I want to know tell me that your aim is true 

REPEAT CHORUS X3 
You don't know how to be a 
You don't know how to be a 
You don't know how to be a friend of mine
