Everybody Needs a Best Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My words are lazy
My thoughts are hazy
But this is one thing I'm sure of

Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

[Verse 2]
You've got a double who brings you trouble
And though you're better without me
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

[Bridge]
A fool could see decidedly
That you're a 10 and I'm a 3
A royal breed is what you need
So how do you come to be stuck with a bummer like me?

[Refrain]
You've got a head full
Of someone dreadful
But having someone adore you

Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours
[Bridge]
A fool could see decidedly
That you're a 10 and I'm a 3
A royal breed is what you need
So how do you come to be stuck with a bummer like me?

[Refrain]
Oh, you've got a head full of someone dreadful
And yet alas, that someone adores you
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

[Outro]
I'm just a clown
And I'll bring you down
But you just don't care, cause your
Best friend is me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
