Forever Lyrics - Lisa Left Eye Lopes

Intro: 

This one right here goes out to everybody 

And it doesnt matter who your are 

Cuz I know that everybody has a friend 

Verse 1: 

What defines a friend, the meaning 

Where does it lye 

In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes 

In the days, in the nights, well what is a friend 

Do you love it and leave it again and again 

So now our story begins of two little friends 

You would have thought they were twins 

Would have thought they were kiddin 

Wouldnt think they can bend 

Because all the time they would spend 

For each other they would fend 

For they friends to the end 

Their mothers know mothers 

Sisters know brothers 

Mothers know fathers 

Sons know they daughters 

They blood thicka then water 

If one had fifty cents theyd both have a quarter 

That only makes sense, adjusting levels and all 

They grew up together from pre-k to high school 

Winters in the snow, summers in the pool 

Hes and athlete, shes an actress 

But hormones would lead them. 

Chorus: 

You have been there, through thick and thin 

Always beside me, you are my friend 

More than money, fortune, or fame 

Forever and ever, we will remain 

We will remain friends 

Verse 2: 

Not furious just curious 

She saw himself fit 

Who better than the boo the girl grew up with 

How bout the walks in the park 

On the phone all night 

Dreams like that she saw in plain sight 

To his friends hes urgent 

Simple fact shes a virgin 

To her hell be urging sexually lets merge 

As you can see theres two different dreams 

Her thoughts are so pure, his low as the floor 

Shes looking hes balking 

Now walking and talking 

Bout a new stage and phase 

That they should embark in 

So it came to that length 

No dinner, no candlelight 

The female exhales 

Something doesnt feel right 

She said it polite, honey please not tonight 

Cuz he didnt get any, he got real malignant 

Hit her, it hurt, her breath got suspended 

Then he looked at his work not feeling 

Chorus: 

You have been there, through thick and thin 

Always beside me, you are my friend 

More than money, fortune, or fame 

Forever and ever, we will remain 

We will remain friends 

Verse 3: 

Their meeting had ended 

Feeling offended, he went and attended 

To a counseling session 

Now life is a lesson 

Full of questions 

Why be drowned down 

Rather than manifested 

Went to his friend right from the beginning 

With tears in his eyes he said I apologize 

She much obliged, made amends 

Once again, theyre friends to the end 

Yea, it was true love again 

As transparent as when 

A parent is caring 

What defines a friend 

Where does it lye 

In the mind, in the money, in the face, in the eyes 

In the days, in the nights, what is a friend 

Did you love it and leave it again and again 

In time in the sadness in the hurt in the pride 

Its the person dispersing through the hands of time 

Chorus: 

You have been there, through thick and thin 

Always beside me, you are my friend 

More than money, fortune, or fame 

Forever and ever, we will remain 

You have been there, through thick and thin 

Always beside me, you are my friend 

More than money, fortune, or fame 

Forever and ever, we will remain 

We will remain friends
