What I did right
I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart
But my best friend, well she holds the biggest part
She finds the good in me, yeah she knows just what it takes
And she loves the man in me through all of my mistakes
In my eyes, she?s everything, everything to me
And I won?t forget that day she said ?You?re all I need?
You?re all I need

Her tears subside
