Best Friends Lyrics - Romanovsky And Phillips

I was sixteen 

Going on twenty-one 

I called it a relationship 

You called it having fun 

We were best friends 

Doing things kids do 

And no matter what you'd like to think 

We were lovers too 

Chorus: 

Boys will be boys 

If they are left to their own devices 

Boys will be boys 

But often they make sacrifices 

Men will be men will be men will be men 

Afraid of being boys 

We shared all our secrets 

'Round an open fire 

And wrestled with each other 

As we wrestled with desire 

We walked along together 

'Til you ran off in fright 

And me, I took a left 

And you, you took a right 

(Chorus) 

Sometimes you're too young to know 

Some things you just outgrow 

But I know what I felt for you 

And it must have scared the hell out of you 

Now we are two grown men 

Two very different lives 

I'm happy with my lover 

You seem happy with your wife 

We are two grown men 

Trying to pretend 

That nothing ever happened 

That we were only friends 

(Chorus)
