The day I met you, we got drunk in the backyard
With our friend Drew
I remember we had our first slumber party
We were both feeling blue

A few months later, right before I went to rehab
You gave me my first tattoo
It was a hard time, a really fucking dark time
Thank God I found you

Oh you fill me up when I'm feeling low, low, low
Since we met I don't feel alone, lone, lone

I'm calling up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
When I'm with my best friend I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm crying

When you've got a best friend
Yeah, you can be yourself
When you've got a best friend
You don't need nothing else

Do you remember when we drove out to the mountains?
For that weird retreat
It's kinda fuzzy 'cause we snuck out to get red wine
And I combed out your weave

Do you remember the night before the Grammy's?
I was losing my shit
I knew you were nervous, and I thought it'd make you laugh
So I sent you a bag of candy dicks

Oh you build me up when I'm feeling low, low, low
Since we met I don't feel alone, lone, lone

I'm calling up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
'Cause when I'm with my best friend I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm crying

When you've got a best friend
Yeah, you can be yourself
When you've got a best friend
You don't need nothing else

Five years later and we're still right here together
With our friends too
It's five years later and it keeps on getting better
My mom's here too

I'm calling up my best friend
Can we just hang out tonight?
Neither of our boyfriends are even invited
'Cause when I'm with my best friend I feel like myself again
Always make me laugh until I'm crying

When you've got a best friend (You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
Yeah, you can be yourself (You're my best friend, it's true)
When you've got a best friend (You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
You don't need nothing else (You're my best friend, it's you)

When you've got a best friend (You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
Yeah, you can be yourself (You're my best friend, it's true)
When you've got a best friend (You're my best friend, you're my best friend)
You don't need nothing else (You're my best friend, it's you)
