I…I woke up the other day
To see my friends were all at play
A brand new game, that started all for one
But soon, the sides were drawn and we were torn,
To choose a path that split us up, and only led to tears
Then I……. came out to see what I could do
To shake things up and make them prove
That choosing sides wasn't fun…at all
Chorus
I need my friends to understand me
The lessons in life they help to shape me for me and me and me and you too
To be the best that I always can be
And do it together for you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
Verse 2
Now…it's plain to see that they were wrong
We need to show, we can get along
And live in harmony
So now, growing up is hard to do
They make the rules and in our school
We learn to find ourselves…Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Chorus
I need my friends to understand me
The lessons in life they help to shape me for me and me and me and you too
To be the best that I always can be
And do it together for you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
Middle 8
I didn't need to see
That I was coming off the tracks
I never meant to be
Stuck in the middle of all this pressure
And now it's plain to see
That I was living a lie right through you
But now I'm
Making my life complete, smiling again and feeling so good once more…….
Chorus x 2
I need my friends to understand me
The lessons in life they help to shape me for me and me and me and you too
To be the best that I always can be
And do it together for you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
For you and you and you and you and me to
