lyrics

Well, would I have lit another damn candle
If you said: "I would have been able
To feel the need to explore it
To feel the need to adore it"
So I said: "Yeah! I'd love it again" (You bet I'd love you again)
And I said: "I'd buy you a friend and try to be just everything"

Well, would I have fought for This Fourth Dimension
If you said: "Kid, give me the attention
To stay ahead of the broken hearted
To stay ahead of the faithfully departed"
So I said: "Yeah! I'd love it again" (You bet I'd love you again)
And I said: "I'd buy you a friend and try to be just everything"

Well, could I have come straight out of Compton
If you said: "Hey Kid, I leave the light on
To make a mess of your adoration
To make a mess of your explorations"
So, yes, I said: "Hell! I'd love it again" (You bet I'd love you again)
And I said: "Hey! I'd buy you a friend and try to be just everything"

Just make sure you like me
Just make sure you like me
Just make sure you be my BFF

Just make sure you like me
Just make sure you like me
Just make sure you be my BFF
