about

We all have that one friend who is a little too....everything! This is a comedic song about friendship, trying to reel that person back in to reality as a best pal. Think Katy Perry meets Jessie J meets Cyndi Lauper. Synth Pop FUN with strong female vocal and sing-along harmonies.

lyrics

Friday night you love to Karaoke. The doors open and your first in line.
You do Sinatra, Eminem or Smokey. Next thing you know everybody's dyin'! You prob'ly think they're all laughing with you - but let me tell you, it's not that way. They're countin' down the seconds 'til it's over, so as a friend I've got to say:

Friends don't let friends drive everyone crazy. Your rap is crap & you just can't sing. You think you're Usher, Pharrell or even Jay Z, but let's be honest - it's not your thing.

Saturdays you're always on the dance floor, shake 'n bakin' everything you've got. You only miss a step or 2 or 50 and all the girls wish that you'd just stop! Maybe you need another shot of courage to get back out and blow them away, but no amount of liquor's gonna give you rhythm, so as a friend I've got to say:

Friends don't let friends drive everyone crazy. You think you're smooth but you've got no swing. You're Dirty Dancin', but nothing like Swayze, so let's be honest - it's not your thing.

Anytime I see you at a party, you're tellin' stories to impress the crowd.
You make yourself the center of attention, but they all see you as just too loud! You try so hard to steer the conversation, but all your jokes are so passé. Everybody's looking at their watches, so as a friend I've got to say:

Friends don't let friends drive everyone crazy. You strut around like some kind of king, but you don't need to be anybody's punch line. Just BE YOURSELF and do your thing.
Friends don't let friends drive everyone crazy. Oooooooh.
Friends don't let friends drive everyone crazy. Oooooooh.
