It's the season of love

(Like we could forget).

Romance is in the air,

And it's making us sick.

*

Couples are holding hands,

And all through the day,

We walk down the halls

And have to witness PDA.

*

Then those same girls

Will go home at night

And thank God above

For the man in their life.

*

But when it comes down to it

We've got something they don't-

Friends who will be there

When a boyfriend won't.

*

Friends who will be with you

There through it all.

When you're feeling little

They make you feel tall.

*

Friends understand

When you want to stay home.

No, you're not mad...

You just need time alone.

*

When you're eating with friends,

You can just dig right in.

There's no guys around...

So who's trying to stay thin?

*

Now and then there's an urge

To someday meet a guy

Who'll put a smile on your face

And a spark in your eye.

*

And "someday" will happen,

But until that time comes

Take advantage of now

And simply have fun.

*

So while other girls pray

For a love that is true,

When I pray at night

I thank God for you.
