Don't run away, 'cause you know I really care
Don't turn your back on me, I want to help you
Please try and listen to what I have to say
Instead of just hearing the words I say
You know that you can always trust me
I'll never hurt you in any way, believe me
But how can I help you if you don't look at me?
Look deep into my eyes, what do you see there?
A friend till the end of time, maybe?
An ear that listens to your problems, possibly?
A companion that will watch your back, always!
But how can I help you if you don't think about us?
Remember all the good times we had together
Remember all the problems I helped you solve
Remember all the new friends we made together
Remember if you need anything you just call me
But how can I help you if you keep running away?
You know you have to go back to school
You know you're already behind the pack
If you're not careful you might not make it back
You could become trapped in a life of poverty
But how can I help you if you ignore all my words?
I'm really deeply sorry if I offended you
I really don't know how I can fix it
But I'll try if you would give me a chance
So how about it for old times sake
But how can I help you if you don't forgive me?
It's only three words that you have to say
It's not like tightrope walking Niagara Falls
Do you really care about our friendship?
Then forgive me and let's be friends once more
