lyrics
I Want to Be Your Friend
I’m new to the neighborhood
If you’d stop by and say hi
It would make me feel good
I miss my friends
I miss our old house, too
Now I’m all alone
With nothing fun to do
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
I got my nose pressed up against the window pane
I’m wearing my brand new bathing suit
I was gonna go swimming
But it started to rain
All I know is I
I just want to be happy
All I know is I
I don’t want to be blue
All I know is I
I just want to be friends with you
I want to be friends with you
My parents keep telling me to give it time
But even the trees we planted are too small for me to climb
Our yard used to be grass and dirt
Now there’s a flower bed
But I’m still homesick and hurt
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
I want you to stop by
So I can say hi
I’ve got my nose pressed up the window pane
I’m fogging up the glass
But I can still see the rain
You see I’m just a little bit shy
I don’t want to put my foot in my mouth
I talk a little funny I’m from way down south
I’m shy I’m new to the neighborhood
If you’d stop by and say hi
It would make me feel good
I’m looking around, looking around, looking around
If you come over today I won’t stare at the ground
To have a friend you’ve got to be one too
I’m gonna look you in the eye and say hello to you
