[Part I: It's Nice To Have A Friend]
[Verse 1]
School bell rings, walk me home
Sidewalk chalk covered in snow
Lost my gloves, you gave me one
"Wanna hang out?" Yeah, sounds like fun
Video games, you pass me a note
Sleeping in tents
[Chorus]
It's nice to have a friend
It's nice to have a friend
Ooh, oh
Ooh
[Part II: dorothea]
[Verse 1]
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
When we were younger, down in the park
Honey, makin' a lark of the misery
You got shiny friends since you left town
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
And I got nothin' but well wishes for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
This place is the same as it ever was
Ooh
But you won't like it that way
[Chorus]
It's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
If you're ever tired of bein' known for who you know
You know, you'll always know me
Dorothea, ah-ah
Dorothea, ah-ah
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
You're a queen sellin' dreams, sellin' makeup and magazines
Ooh
From you, I'd buy anything
[Verse 2]
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
When it was calmer, skippin' the prom
Just to piss off your mom and her pageant schemes
And damn, Dorothea, they all wanna be ya
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? Well
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
I guess I'll never know
Ooh
And you'll go on with the show
[Part III: dorothea / It's Nice To Have A Friend]
[Chorus]
But it's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of bein' known for who you know
You know, you'll always know me
Dorothea, ah-ah
It's nice to have Dorothea, ah-ah
Ooh, oh
Dorothea, ah-ah
