Do you remember how we first met? Out on the playground I pulled you by your pig tales and laughed at all your hand me downs But you were cool and knew exactly what to do Wasn’t scared to bust back cause you made fun of my front tooth I lived on the 5th you moved into the 6th New to the complex your family was a mess I used to hear your parents fighting every night through the walls They were paper thin When you and Danny did the nasty, yup I heard it all The big and the small We became best friends exchanged secrets and all My girlfriends would get jealous always thought that we were hooking up I told them you were like a sister but they never listened Though at times I thought about it and what it would be like Didn’t want to lose a good thing so I kept quiet Now we’re all grown up, doing grown up things I never trusted anyone like you so what you think hun?
