Hey!
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few
Hey old friend
Are you okay
Old friend
What do you say
Old friend
Are we or are we unique?
Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quick-ly made
And in a pinch, sure they'll do
But us! Old friend
What's to discuss old friend
Here's to us
Who's like us
Damn few
So old friend
Fill me in slow old friend
Start from hello old friend
I want the when where and how
Old friends do tend to become old habit
Never knew how much I missed you till now
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quick-ly made
Some of them worth something too
But us old friends
What's to discuss old friends
Tell you something
Good friends point out your lies
Where as old friends live and let live
Good friends like and advise
Where as old friends love and forgive
And old friends let you go your own way
Help you find your own way
Let you off when you're wrong
If you're wrong
When you're wrong
Right or wrong
The point is old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong
Should, but not for too long
What's too long
If you're wrong
When you're wrong
The thing is old friends do leave their brands on you
But old friends shouldn't compete
Old friends don't make demands on you
Should make demands on you
Well don't make demands you can't meet
Well what's the point of demands you can meet?
Well there's a time for demands whether you'll meet them or not
Ahh!
Hey!
Old friends
How do we stay old friends
Who is to say old friends
How an old friendship survives
One day chums having a laugh a minute
One day comes and their a part of your lives
New friends pour through the revolving door
Maybe there's one that's more if you find one that'll do
But us, old friends
What's to discuss old friends
Here's to us
Who's like us
Two old friends
Fewer won't do
Old friends
Gotta have two old friends helping you balance along
One upbraids you for your faults and fancies
One persuades you
That the other one's wrong
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quick-ly made
Perfect as long as they're new
But us old friends
What's to discuss old friends
Here's to us
Who's like us
Damn few
