Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you threw a party and invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend"
[Verse 2]
I count on you and you count on me
It's as easy as one, two, three
Yeah, we're connected eternally
[Verse 3]
Let's dance around by the firelight
Catch the stars falling from the sky
Tell your secrets and I'll tell you mine
[Verse 4]
And out of seven billion people in the world
Can't believe that I found you
I know you got my back and I got yours
Call on me, and I'll remind you
(Yeah, you the best)
[Verse 5]
And if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend"
[Verse 6]
(A friend, a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
(A friend, a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
[Verse 7]
You understand without sayin' a word
Larger scope but you put me first
And helped me reach for what I deserve
[Verse 8]
And out of seven billion people in the world
Can't believe that I found you
And just in case you're feeling insecure
Call on me and I'll remind you
I will remind you
[Verse 9]
And if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend"
[Verse 10]
(A friend, a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
(A friend, a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
[Verse 11]
So come on, call anyone over
They'll tell you the same thing I told ya
We'll always be shoulder to shoulder
I got ya, I got ya
So come on, call anyone over
They'll tell you the same thing I told ya
We'll always be shoulder to shoulder
I got ya, I got ya
[Verse 12]
And if you threw a party
And invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend"
[Verse 13]
(A friend, a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
(A friend)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
(A friend)
Thank you for being a friend
