Best Friend
Unbreakable Bonds: Shania Twain's Ode to Lifelong Friendship
Lyrics
When you forget where you belong
Expressing the feeling of being lost or disconnected.
I put on my favorite song to remind you
Using a favorite song as a reminder of identity and connection.
You're my best friend, that's who you are
Affirming the listener as the singer's best friend.
You're my best friend, that's who you are
-Just remember who you got
Reassuring the listener of their importance in times of confusion.
When you feel a little lost, I'll find you
Commitment to finding and supporting the friend in need.
I'll remind you, that's who you are
Reiterating the best friend's significance and the singer's role in reminding them.
You're my best friend, that's who you are
-No matter what, yeah, I got you
Promising unwavering support and mutual understanding.
And I know that you got me, you got me too
-Yeah, you
Acknowledging the friend's role in helping during challenging times.
When I trip, you pick me up (yeah, you)
-When you know I've had too much (yeah, you)
-You're the one to call my mama
-You always take the blame and you know I'd do the same
-Yeah, you
Highlighting the friend's loyalty and mutual willingness to take responsibility.
Next time I go too far (yeah, you)
-Hide the keys to my car (yeah, you)
-And like the friend you are
-You always take the blame and you know I'd do the same for you
-We've both made the same mistakes
Reflecting on shared mistakes and experiences that define the friendship.
Waking up in the wrong places, wasted
-Naked, that's who we are
-Yeah, we're best friends, that's who we are
Emphasizing the enduring nature of their best friendship.
Remember, we've still got the shirts
Recalling shared memories, even the ones that might be regrettable.
That we probably should have burned in Vegas (let's go out to Vegas)
-I bet they hate us at that casino bar
-But it made us who we are
-Yeah, you
Repeating the friend's supportive role in difficult situations.
When I trip, you pick me up (yeah, you)
-When you know I've had too much (yeah, you)
-You're the one to call my mama
-You always take the blame and you know I'd do the same
-Yeah, you
Reiterating the mutual commitment to taking blame for each other.
Next time I go too far (yeah, you)
-Hide the keys to my car (yeah, you)
-And like the friend you are
-You always take the blame and you know I'd do the same for you
-No matter what, yeah, I got you
Affirming the enduring support and understanding between the friends.
And I know that you got me
-All the years and the tears that we've been through
-Still I know that you got me, I got you too
-Yeah, you
Repeating the friend's role in offering assistance and taking responsibility.
When I trip, you pick me up (yeah, you)
-When you know I've had too much (yeah, you)
-And like the friend you are
-You always take the blame and you know I'd do the same for you
Closing with the assurance that the singer would reciprocate the friend's actions.
