lyrics
Your white knees
Your butterfly belt
Your hands on your hips
You know you knock me out
You buy me whiskey and water
Take a look in my eyes
I think you oughta know
I could be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
Your accent
Is indecent
I feel like you steal and it’s recent
It ain’t what you say, it’s what you don’t say
When you pull your cigarette, I watch my world go away
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you, someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
Your best friend thinks she knows me
But I don’t regret ‘cause I was lonely
I paint a little picture of you in my head
I can’t draw your breath, I can’t draw your blood
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you, someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you as someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I will be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
Your butterfly belt
Your hands on your hips
You know you knock me out
You buy me whiskey and water
Take a look in my eyes
I think you oughta know
I could be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
Your accent
Is indecent
I feel like you steal and it’s recent
It ain’t what you say, it’s what you don’t say
When you pull your cigarette, I watch my world go away
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you, someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
Your best friend thinks she knows me
But I don’t regret ‘cause I was lonely
I paint a little picture of you in my head
I can’t draw your breath, I can’t draw your blood
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you, someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
I can be there for you
When the rain comes down and you don’t know what to do
I can be there for you
To be someone you love instead of someone you screw
I can be there for you as someone to hold
You can be mercury and you can be gold
I can be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I will be there for you
Any time you wanted me to now now
I can be there for you
