Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
Saw you walk into the club last night
Could not even believe what I was seein'
How do I even stop thinkin' of you?
'Cause in my eyes you're still mine
Nobody told me I would feel like this
Wanting you more as the years walk on by
Now I'm not afraid to say what I, I believe
But I wish you were my wife
My old friend
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(My old friend)
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
First time we met so cool, cool I never knew
You would become so closely to my heart
And now when I look back, girl I was so blessed
The rest never passed the test
I'm choosy when it comes to newfound friends
And I wish they could be so smooth
(Just like you)
And you never sweated me girl that was so tight
You were an angel in my life, oh, if
(I knew then)
What I know now
(What I know now)
Oh, yeah
(You wouldn't be with him)
You would be here
(You'd be here with me)
My old friend
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(My old friend)
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
[Spoken-Ralph:]
Wow
Wish I only knew
What I know now
I'm sorry baby
(My old friend)
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(Old friends)
Old friends
Are the best friends
(Are the best friends)
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(What I wanna do, what I wanna say)
Old friends
Are the best friends
(I can't believe I have to leave without ya, baby, baby, baby)
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(Yeah)
Old friends
(Sometimes, sometimes I get so lonely, so lonely, so lonely girl)
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(Old friends)
Old friends
Are the best friends
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(My old friend)
Old friends
Are the best friends
(Are the best friends)
All my old friends
Are my best friends
(My old friend)
